CHICAGO HEIGHTS—(ENEWSPF)—May 26, 2016. The Drama Group is thrilled to present Agatha Christie’s suspenseful murder mystery, ‘Murder on the Nile’ directed by Warren Sampson.

‘Murder on the Nile’ is based on Agatha Christie’s 1937 novel Death on the Nile; one of the few in which Hercules Poirot is not involved. Fatal circumstances await a newlywed couple as they embark on a honeymoon voyage down the Nile. Simon Mostyn has recently married Kay Ridgeway, a rich woman, having thrown over his former lover Jacqueline; they are on a paddle steamer on the Nile, accompanied by a bevy of memorable characters – Canon Pennefather, Kay’s guardian, and Jacqueline, who has been dogging their footsteps all through the honeymoon. During the voyage Jacqueline works herself into a state of hysteria and shoots at Simon, wounding him in the knee. A few moments later Kay is found shot in her bunk. By the time the boat reaches its destination, Canon Pennefather has laid bare an audacious conspiracy and has made sure the criminals shall not go free.
