Spider's Web: A colourful set of characters to spend our time with

SPIDER’S WEB, the title of Agatha Christie’s 1954 play, and her second most successful play after her legendary play, ‘The Mousetrap’, could not be more appropriate. As the plot unravels, the web just grows ever larger and more intricate.

I enjoyed this show most all because the play’s comedic elements and tone were more appealing than Christie’s many, inevitable plot twists and turns.

In her program note, director Georgia Drewe wrote that SPIDER’S WEB is one of her all time favourite plays. This love shows with her colourful, entertaining revival

SPIDER’S WEB is playing the Zenith theatre, Chatswood until the 12th July 2025.
