A play by Agatha Christie and Gerald Verner

Towards Zero is set in Gull’s Point, an isolated house where Lady Tressilian lives with her downtrodden housekeeper Mary.

A curious assortment of guests arrive, among them Nevile Strange, Lady Tressilian’s ward and heir; his blousy second wife, Kay, and his divorced wife, Audrey.

Although most of the guests are unaware of it, someone has worked out an ingenious plot for murder and the scene is set for the denouement as events converge inexorably towards zero hour.
