Director’s Note

375th Production them on. I saw a mountain of a challenge that any
director would be excited to climb. And they were
And then there were none... asking me to do it?! Yes. Please! And...thank you!
I have to admit that when LCT offered me this I’ve had an unequivocal joy working alongside this
opportunity, I assumed they had exhausted their incredible cast. Watching them work, connect—
options—just like the title of this play suggests. I and yes—at times struggle with this script has
mean...what an absolute gem of a show. I saw in it been rewarding to say the absolute least. Some
ample opportunities for actors to showcase talents came so prepared they instantly elevated the level
they haven’t shown you yet. I saw audiences ready of the rest of the cast. Some took their time until
to be creeped out by the time of year, delighting they were comfortable enough to wow me. All
of them have made me proud to have my name
attached to their hard and impressive work.
As the cliché goes—sit back, relax, and enjoy
the show. I know I’ll be glued to my seat until
the theatre empties and I can quietly whisper to
myself,“...and then there were none.”
