There are just a few more chances to figure out whodunnit before the big reveal as Theatre Aurora prepares to bring the curtain down on their latest production, Agatha Christie\u2019s \u201cAnd Then There Were None.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTen strangers are summoned to a remote island,\u201d says Theatre Aurora. \u201cAll that the guests have in common is a wicked past they’re unwilling to reveal and a secret that will seal their fate. For each has been marked for murder. As the weather turns and the group is cut off from the mainland, the bloodbath begins and one by one they are brutally murdered in accordance with the lines of a sinister nursery rhyme.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This latest Theatre Aurora offering opened Friday and continues on select dates and times through Sunday evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the younger guests, Vera Claythorne, is brought to life by Pietra Bertola.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVera is the young woman on the island. She comes across more confident and professional and then, as the show progresses and everything goes to madness, she does too in some ways,\u201d Bertola says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The actor says one of the elements of the show that particularly appealed to her it is the \u201cinteractivity\u201d with the audience who are invariably trying to stay one step ahead, trying to solve the mystery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt has been really, really fun,\u201d she says. \u201cWe\u2019re all having a great time, especially with our crew, which sometimes doesn\u2019t happen in shows. Everybody feels really tight-knit and it has been a really great experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAgatha Christie is one of my mother\u2019s favourite authors and it is definitely a mystery that appeals to a lot of people. Christie has written so many novels and her mysteries really do span time; they can\u2019t really go out of style and I think the way she writes them just draws you in. Having them portrayed on the stage as well really brings people in and having a woman author is, especially in this day and age, something that is really important.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
