Robert Powell as Hercule Poirot

Audiences can exercise those ‘little grey cells’ at the Opera House, Manchester in November, with the Agatha Christie ‘whodunnit’ Black Coffee, featuring much-loved super sleuth Hercule Poirot.

The Belgian detective will be played by Jason Durr, best known for his portrayal of PC Mike Bradley in TV’s Heartbeat for six years.

He was most recently seen at the Opera House playing the lead role in 2013’s Sherlock Holmes: The Best Kept Secret.

He is joined by an all-star cast including rising starlet, Georgina Leonidas who shot to fame playing the cursed Katie Bell in Harry Potter films.

A quintessential English country estate is thrown into chaos following the murder of eccentric inventor Sir Claud Amory, and the theft of his new earth-shattering formula. It runs from November 17-22.
