  • In "The Lie," Nan is trapped in an unhappy marriage and driven to leave her family home for a night after her husband's obsession with her younger sister becomes unbearable. This act sets off a chain of dramatic revelations that could either lead to divorce or reconciliation, hinging on whether Nan's sister will lie to protect her.
    Agatha Christie's remarkable early play, unearthed by theatre producer Julius Green from her family's archives, appears to have been written in the mid-1920s, amidst the turmoil of Christie's first marriage. "The Lie" is a deeply personal work, blending elements of a hard-hitting domestic drama with the suspense and intrigue characteristic of Christie's later theatrical successes. It provides a rare glimpse into Christie's emotional landscape during this turbulent period of her life.

    A great eye opener for me to know that Agatha Christie wrote this. So many twists and turns. And they seemed like real people to me by the time it was over. Like real lives, I was listening to that, I felt so worried and sad for Nel in the end. Would it work out well for her I wonder? Thank you for sharing this.

    Allen, thank you for the intro and outro giving context to this story within Agatha’s life. It made this riveting piece of writing more impactful. Thank you also for not peppering this with advertisements. It was such an enjoyable and breath holding drama.

      It is TH-cam which. Is doing all the ads. The people, the TH-camrs, are the ones who do all the work and suffer all the calumny.

    She most certainly did marry Jim Hayward - no doubt & bravo! I literally had to take a break 5 minutes before the end to brace myself for whatever was going to happen! Brilliant Story.🤯
