As part of MCC’s yearlong Centennial Celebration, The Center for Theater is proud to announce a radio play of The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, by Agatha Christie. This novel was written in 1926, the same year the college was founded.

This detective story tale of a tiny village called King’s Abbot is rocked by scandal when Roger Ackroyd, the wealthiest man in town, is found dead. Agatha Christie’s ingenious 1926 novel The Murder Of Roger Ackroyd cemented her reputation as the greatest mystery novelist of all time. The story’s shocking twist ending has thrilled readers for generations and has been called “the best and most cunning solution devised in her storied career.” Filled with colorful characters, outrageous laughter and nail-biting suspense, this Christie classic is sure to leave audiences guessing, gasping and delighting in the case long after the reading ends.

This radio style adaptation by Annelise Dickison, is an entertaining theatrical event that will feature MCC Theater actors, period costumes, and haunting sound effects, a perfect way to get in the spooky mood for Halloween season. Complimentary coffee, tea and cookies will be served.
