'Murder on the Links' is a Hercule Poirot mystery set at a golf resort in the French countryside
One-hundred years ago to the year, the “Queen of Crime” Agatha Christie published “The Murder on the Links.” It was her third mystery novel and the second to feature her beloved Belgian detective Hercule Poirot.
The original novel finds Poirot and his Watson-like chronicler and friend, Hastings, responding to a call for help from a prospective client in France, only to arrive and find the man has been murdered. Suspects, naturally, abound.“It’s less famous than some of Christie’s books and it also is really expansive. We’re not on the Orient Express or in a drawing room. We’re in the French countryside. That appealed to me. It’s also what led me to embrace all the mistaken identities in the story.
“It’s been a treat” working with Schein, said Dietz. “He’s such a pro and his skill level is so high. But what I appreciate is his big intellect on stage. I love when an actor is present and curious. While the murder mystery is very much intact in Dietz’s adaptation, he’s instilled in it what he calls “a buoyancy of spirit throughout.”
