Additional dates and venues have been announced, with new stops in Bath, Crewe, Chelmsford, Hastings, Sheffield, Leicester, Belfast, Colchester, Guildford, High Wycombe, Aberdeen, Dartford, Isle of White, Swindon, and Leeds. These venues accompany the previously announced stops at Cheltenham, Bromley, Edinburgh, Dublin, Cornwall, Southend, Newcastle, Glasgow, Kingston, Inverness and Cardiff.

David is also delighted to be returning to the RSC, Stratford-Upon-Avon, where he performed over 30 roles as part of their company after joining in 1973.

David Suchet said: “I am so delighted to be visiting a whole host of new venues in my tour around the UK and Ireland, and I look forward to meeting audiences that I’ve not yet had the opportunity to perform in front of. How wonderful, also, to be doing my Shakespeare once again at the RSC, in the theatre in which I performed 51 years ago when I joined the company and where I have such fond memories.”

Join us in conversation with the man, the actor and his many roles in an unmistakably unique event. A retrospective look at David’s career will have you witness some of his most beloved performances in a new and intimate light. Geoffrey Wansell, journalist, broadcaster, biographer and co-author of Poirot and Me, will be joining David as interviewer.

For over 25 years he captivated millions worldwide as Agatha Christie’s elegant Belgian detective. Beyond Poirot, this Emmy award-winning actor has been celebrated for his portrayal of iconic roles such as Lady Bracknell, Cardinal Benelli and Freud. David has also graced the world’s stages bringing literary greats to life, including Shakespeare, Wilde and Albee.

Meet the actor behind the detective and the many faces he’s portrayed on stage and screen over a career spanning five decades. Discover why David Suchet is renowned for not only becoming the role, but also taking on the personalities of some of television, film and theatre’s most fascinating characters.

POIROT AND MORE, A RETROSPECTIVE is co-created by David Suchet and Liza McLean. The show was originally produced in Australia and New Zealand by Liza McLean and Andrew Kay and is presented in the UK by Liza McLean, Andrew Kay and Jonathan Church Theatre Productions.
