La Souricière in Brussels offers a winter theatre evening built around one of Agatha Christie’s most appealing ingredients: a group of people who cannot easily get away from one another. The Comédie Royale Claude Volter presents the play in French from 2 to 31 December 2026.
A snowstorm has trapped strangers in a country guest house. A murder in London casts suspicion over their gathering, and the audience is invited to follow the clues without knowing whom to trust.
A mystery best left unexplained
The pleasure of a Christie evening is partly the agreement to arrive without the answer. Let the production establish its suspects and allow your interpretation to change as the story develops.
This French adaptation is by Pierre-Alain Leleu, with direction by Michel de Warzée. The cast includes Danielle Fire, Stéphanie Moriau, Bruno Georis and Bernard d’Oultremont.
A French-language cultural outing
For international residents, the language is an important practical detail. This is a French production, so choose it with that in mind when inviting friends or visiting family.
It also offers an alternative to the usual December plans. An evening at the theatre can give a gathering a shared focus, with something to discuss afterwards that does not depend on who guessed correctly first.
Book the date carefully
The advertised schedule includes evening performances and Sunday matinees, with special arrangements on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. Check the specific performance before making transport or dinner plans.
Keep the ending a mystery for anyone who has yet to take their seat. Whatever you think you have worked out along the way, part of the experience belongs to discovering it in the room.
