The Drama Group will present the murder mystery “Murder on the Nile” over two weekends in June.

The play is based on the 1937 novel by Agatha Christie and features sleuth Hercules Poirot as he travels down the Nile River on a paddle steamer. When a passenger is shot and another is found dead Poirot puts his talents to work to find the killer.

The play has a bevy of interesting characters who can lead the plot to any number of dead ends before Poirot solves the mystery.
