Agatha Christie's "THE HOLLOW" is a 1951 play by the famed crime writer, based on her 1946 book of the same name. The action takes place in the garden room of Sir Henry Angkatell's estate, The Hollow, about eighteen miles from London. His wife Lucy has invited several people for a weekend, but when John Cristow turns up murdered, Inspector Colquhoun and Detective Sergeant Penny are called in to solve the crime. As usual, Christie throws plenty of twists and turns in the way before the murderer's identity and motive are revealed.

Featured in the cast are Elaine Arnett, Dylan Bailey, Heather Barnett, Samantha Barrios, Harold Dershimer, Kiah Gordon, Doug Mattingly, Darryl Maximilian Robinson, Janet Lee Rodriguez, Jennifer Sperry, David Tracq and Jack Winnick
