David Suchet is bringing his show Poirot and More, A Retrospective to Hampstead Theatre on the back of its West End run.
A limited run of just 18 performances will offer audiences an insight into Suchet’s career as he discusses some of his most acclaimed performances.
Poirot and More, A Retrospective is described as a celebration of Suchet’s stage and screen career spanning five decades and an array of roles. He is best known as playing Agatha Christie’s elegant Belgian detective Hercule Poirot for more than 25 years.
However, the Emmy-winning actor has been celebrated for playing iconic roles such as Lady Bracknell, Cardinal Benelli and Sigmund Freud. Around the world, he has also brought the literary greats to life, including Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde and Edward Albee.
Suchet said: “Following the success of my one man show in the West End and on Tour last year, and in the light of the 100% cut in Arts Council funding which Hampstead Theatre is having to navigate, I wanted to show my support by bringing my show to this wonderful intimate theatre for a strictly limited season. I was last on stage at Hampstead Theatre in 1987 in Separation, directed by Mike Attenborough, so I think it’s about time!”
Poirot and More, A Retrospective is at Hampstead Theatre from 11 – 29 March. Tickets are now on sale for priority bookers and on general sale from 10.30am on Thursday 9 February at hampsteadtheatre.com.
