As she gave more attention to it, she wondered if it would
be too confusing. But…that’s what was going to make it a hilarious farce, and
show the acting skills of all the actors.
The actors were putting on Agatha Christie’s mystery play featuring
Hercule Poirot, Appointment With Death, and at the same time putting on
Akhnaten, Christie’s play regarding the life of the first monotheist, Akhnaten (the
father of Tutankamun).
Each actor would also be playing himself, except in a fictional
way, as they plotted and schemed to increase their stage time and role
importance.
Philip Droste had been the Sweetwater Little Theatre actor
who played Detective Sergeant Trotter, and Brian Dexter had played Christopher
Wren.
