BHS Presents “Black Coffee” Nov. 8 and 9

Brighton High School is presenting Agatha Christie’s “Black Coffee” at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 8 and Saturday, Nov. 9 in the BHS Auditorium. Tickets are $5 at the door, cash only.

In “Black Coffee,” accomplished physicist Sir Claud Amory has constructed a workable formula for one of the most deadly weapons known to man: the atom bomb. After the formula is mysteriously stolen and Sir Claud is callously murdered, Hercule Poirot arrives to solve the mystery with the help of Captain Hastings and Inspector Japp. A superbly crafted whodunit with endless red herrings, subplots of infamous spies, and an astonishingly prophetic storyline about weapons created through “bombarding the atom,” “Black Coffee” is one of Christie’s most gripping country house murder mysteries.

The cast includes: Colby Rinella as Tredwell (the butler); Syesha Zinyama as Lucia Amory (Richard’s wife); Sophie Pincus as Miss Caroline Amory (Sir Claud Amory’s sister);  Henry Ager as Richard Amory (his son); Casey Howe as Barbara Amory (his niece); Jamie Ryder as Edward Raynor (his secretary); Cypher Eris-Lynne McNulty as Dr. Carelli; Itai Weinstein as Sir Claud Amory; Sophie Miller as Hercule Poirot; Ana Bansal as Captain Arthur Hastings, O.B.E.; Daniel Gasparino as Dr. Graham and Johnson (a constable); and Sage Rinella as Inspector Japp.
