“The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is a Whodunnit Done Right! It’s no mystery that this production is meant to be a crowd pleaser and it does not disappoint.”
– The Houston Chronicle (on the play’s world premiere production at the Alley Theatre)
In this thrilling stage adaptation of Agatha Christie’s novel, the tiny village of King’s Abbot is rocked by scandal when Roger Ackroyd, the wealthiest man in town, is found dead shortly after the apparent suicide of his fiancée. This new stage adaptation by Mark Shanahan (A Sherlock Carol) features a cast of killer suspects in what has been called the most cunning “whodunnit” in the history of mystery.
First published in 1926 and voted “The Greatest Crime Novel Ever Written” by the British Crime Writers’ Association, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is classic Christie with plenty of suspects, plot twists, and misdirection and stars Kinetic Associate Artist Sam Tsoutsouvas as the great Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot.
August 6 – 30, 2026
Please Note: This production will be performed at the intimate Carnegie Stage on W. Main Street in historic Carnegie. There is free parking directly across the street from the theatre.
