The Pitch Review by Brock Wilbur
"Dri Hernaez’s take of dopey TikTok star flooded with sudden empathy with Clare is
simply a tour-de-force
—not just in line delivery but in every small glance and facial twitch throughout the show’s runtime."

An Agatha Christie theatre mystery, revolving around Christie herself! From Heidi Armbruster, Mrs. Christie takes a look at Agatha’s mysterious eleven-day disappearance in 1926, and 100 years later, a devoted superfan, Lucy, who may be the one to finally crack the case. In parallel stories that weave the past with the present, both Lucy and Agatha go on journeys of self-discovery, all with an added thrill of a good old-fashioned mystery. “Mrs. Christie is a captivating, thought-provoking, humorous, dark, and tear-inducing experience.” (Los Altos Town Crier)
Dri will be playing the character Lucy.
