![]() ![]() ![]() Mark Allen is directing the show, which comes about two months after his portrayal of Sir Hugh Evans in the Colonial Players adaptation of William Shakespeare’s “The Merry Wives of Windsor.” When a murder is committed, Superintendent Battle launches an investigation, tracing back toward the zero hour when the killing was committed. ![]() Among the guests are Nevile Strange his impassive ex-wife, Audrey his new wife, Kay Lady Tressilian’s companion and others - an unusual meeting of characters marred by jealousy, infidelity and other flaws. The premise involves a party at the seaside home of Lady Tressilian in the town of Gull’s Point. The show is based on Agatha Christie’s 1944 book and the 1956 stage adaptation by Christie and Gerald Verner. So goes the theory at the heart of “Towards Zero,” the final show of the season for Colonial Players, which opened May 31 and runs through June 22.
