Towards Zero at Theatre Palisades

Theatre Palisades is closing out their 60th anniversary season with Agatha Christie’s nail biting thriller “Towards Zero.” The production will be helmed by long time community member, Hahnah Jackson, who was recently appointed a Theatre Palisades Board Member and is stepping into the director role on the TP stage for the first time.

When a house party gathers at Gull's Point, the seaside home of Lady Tressilian, Neville Strange finds himself torn between his old wife Audrey and his new wife Kay. And then, of course, there’s Latimer who wants Kay in the worst way. And Thomas who has always been in love with Audrey. And now that she is single again...might he propose to her? Might he do anything to keep her for himself? So many vessels in the Gull's Point estuary. Who will collide with whom? A nail-biting thriller, the play probes the psychology of jealousy in the shadow of a savage and brutal murder. A carefully unpeeled investigation before our eyes brings the story to a pointed ending.

Director Hahnah Jackson brings a comprehensive technical understanding of design and execution thanks to her plethora of experience behind the scenes, as well as a keen understanding of shaping a story thanks to her many years as a story consultant. She is certainly one to watch and Theatre Palisades is thrilled to welcome her to the stage.
