Vertigo Theatre has secured the rights to the Canadian premiere of Murder on the Links .

The play is a stage adaptation of Agatha Christie’s 1923 mystery novel.

It features Hercule Poirot solving a series of murders in France with his detective friend Hastings .

Christie's thrillers have also been a boon to Workshop Theatre which played to sold-out houses.

Workshop Theatre is using Agatha Christie's thriller to kick off its current season.

The company is using the thriller to launch its 50th anniversary season in 2019 .

Workshop Theatre used Witness for the Prosecution to launch the company in 1969 .

It is a powerful drama but, as with all Christie’s thrillers, there is plenty of levity.
