Following his huge success as the world-famous Belgian sleuth in Black Coffee earlier this year, Robert Powell is set to return as Poirot in Murder On Air, for one week only, in his hometown of Salford from September 16th at The Lowry.
Robert, well known for his portrayal of Jesus in Franco Zefferelli’s Jesus of Nazareth, rejoins The Agatha Christie Company for three gripping radio thrillers from the Queen of Crime, read in an authentic studio setting with live sound effects in the style of their original BBC broadcasts.
Having already wowed critics and audiences alike as the diminutive detective during the UK tour of Black Coffee, it’s not just a welcome return to the role of Poirot for Robert, but also a homecoming for the actor who was born and bred in the Greater Manchester borough and, as an alumni of the University of Salford, was honoured by the institute when it named its theatre after him.
