Chancellor Johnson in Buena Vista University Theatre's "The Hollow"

2017 Apr 18

Buena Vista University (BVU) Theatre has announced the cast of its spring production of "The Hollow" by Agatha Christie, which will take place April 26-29 at 7:30 p.m. in Anderson Auditorium on the BVU campus.

Chancellor Johnson , a junior theatre major from Nashua , will be part of the cast, playing Inspector Colquhoun.

The play is based on a book by Christie and begins as a weekend getaway to the countryside at The Hollow, home of Sir Henry and Lady Lucy Angkatell, before quickly spiraling into a murder mystery. Dr. John Cristow, the Harley Street lothario, is at the center of the trouble when - all assembled together in one place - the audience is introduced to Cristow's dull but devoted wife, Gerda; his mistress and prominent sculptor, Henrietta Angkatell; and his former lover and Hollywood film star, Veronica Craye. Also visiting the cottage are Edward Angkatell and Midge Harvey, whose romantic assertions are thrown into the mix. As the list of romantic associations grow, so do the list of potential suspects when a murder occurs. Nearly every character has a motive but only one performed the deed.

The performances are open to the public. Tickets are general admission and cost $5 for adults and $3 for non-BVU students and senior citizens. They can be reserved online at www.bvu.edu/tickets or by calling 712-749-2211.

The production is directed by David Grant Walker, assistant professor of theatre and director of theatre productions at BVU.
