Who Killed "Agatha" Christie? is a comedy thriller play by Tudor Gates (1930-2007)[1].

The original text

Despite the name of the play, it is not a piece about the criime writer Agatha Christie, but centres around gay theatre critic Arthur "Agatha" Christie, who is contacted by the playwright John Terry. Terry claims that Christie's lover Bryan is having an affair with his wife Jo. Terry's solution is murder, but it soon dawns on Christie that John Terry's actual intended victim is Christie himself - whom he believes has destroyed his theatre career with his critical reviews.

Written in 1978, it opened at the Richmond Theatre (28th August – 9th September 1978) and, after palying various cities, opened in London at the Ambassadors Theatre (18th October 1978 – March 1979). The text published by Samuel French in 1980
