Mad dogs & Englishmen go out in the midday sun...they also go to isolated Islands cut off from the main land when invited by mysterious hosts they have never met.
Ten strangers find themselves in this very position & as they get to know each other it becomes clear that their absent host is harboring a sinister motive in bringing them together. Trapped on the Island, suspicions are aroused & the tension mounts...

What The Echo said... Friday 8th July 2011
Christie Intigue with Comic Style
Taking as it's basis Agatha Christie's 'And Then There Were None', Blag it!'s not entirely serious adaptation of the tale of tem individuals called to an island by a mysterious host offered melodrama, murder aplenty as well as a sizeable dose of comedy and some great sound effects.
Director Julia Campone kept the action moving at a brisk pace, choreographing the cast in a limited stage space with aplomb.
The production design of monotone with touches of scarlet for both set and costume, was simple but stylish and created the right ambience and sense of period and place.
The actors' enthusiasm infected the audience and both sides clearly had great fun.
Alec harkness' interpretation of Dr. Armstrong, all fussy mannerisums, raised many laughs. And the audience found Paul Green's performance as Phillip Lombard quite delicious.
This was Christie perhaps not as we know it but how we might like it to be
