The
Unexpected Guest
by Agatha Christie
May 5-20, 1989
Directed by Sam Burris
When a stranger runs his car
into a ditch in dense fog in South Wales, near the coast, and makes his way to
an isolated house, he discovers a woman standing over the dead body of her
wheelchair-bound husband, gun in her hand. She admits to murder, and the
unexpected guest offers to help her concoct a cover story.
But is it possible that Laura
Warwick did not commit the murder after all? If so, who is she shielding? The
victim's retarded young half-brother or his dying matriarchal mother? Laura's
lover? Perhaps the father of the little boy killed in an accident for which
Warwick was responsible? The house seems full of possible suspects.
