"The Hollow"

November 4, 5 & 6

The Barrington High School Fine Arts Department is presenting their fall play, the Agatha Christie murder mystery "THE HOLLOW".  This suspenseful drama will run November 4, 5, 6, in the Richard C. Johnson Auditorium. Curtain will be at 7:30 PM each evening with a 2:30 PM matinee on November 6. Tickets are $7 for adults, $5 for students, senior citizens and BHS students with their school ID are admitted free.

            An unhappy game of romantic 'Follow the Leader' explodes into murder one weekend at The Hollow, home of Sir Henry and Lucy Angkatell. Dr. John Cristow is at the center of the trouble, for at the The Hollow are Henrietta, his mistress, Veronica, his ex-mistress, and Gerda, his wife. To further complicate matters, also present is Edward, in love with Henrietta, and Midge, in love with Edward. Veronica ardently desires to marry John Cristow, but although she succeeds in re-opening their affaire, he refuses to divorce his wife. At this point, Veronica unwisely threatens that if she cannot have him, no one else shall. Within five minutes, Cristow is dead. Nearly everyone has a motive to wish Cristow dead; most had the opportunity, but who actually did the murder has to be discovered by Inspector Colquhoun and Sergeant Penny. 

     The box office will be open Monday, November 1 – Friday, November 5 from 10 AM – 2 PM and 1 hour before each show.  For more information, please e-mail LMack@barrington220.org or call the Fine Arts Office at 847-842-3214
