Two River Theater’s world-premiere of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Links, reimagined by Tony Award winning director Darko Tresnjak (A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder) starts performances this weekend. Featuring numerous Tony Award winners and nominees, both on and off stage, the production begins on Saturday, September 13 and will run through October 5, 2025.
Take a swing at cracking the case! When Agatha Christie’s famed detective Hercule Poirot is summoned to a country chateau in France, he discovers a body on the golf course with a knife in its back – a hole in one indeed! New clues dredge up old intrigue in Murder on the Links.
“Tee it up for Murder, Mayhem, and Moustaches!” says Artistic Director Justin Waldman. “The Queen of Crime meets the visionary theatrical mind of Darko Tresnjak for a high stakes round and all bets are off. I am thrilled to bring these two geniuses to Red Bank to entertain our community with sleek sleuths and chic songstresses all dressed to kill. FORE!”
