This first ever Indian adaptation of Agatha Christie’s accomplished detective novel, Towards Zero, finds friends and family members gathered together in a lonely cliff-perched seaside house turning into unsuspecting victims for a murderous psychopath. This play seeks to unravel a crime that has been long in the making and planned to the minutest detail. Murder thus becomes not the beginning but a culmination of many different circumstances converging ‘Towards Zero’. This whodunit, built on a double deception turning on itself, promises edge-of-the-seat thrills in its progress to the revealing climax.
