The Curious Disappearance of Agatha Christie

This effervescent, charming new comedy celebrates writers, womanhood, and the stories that shape our lives. In 1926, famed author Agatha Christie vanished for 11 days, reappearing without explanation. The real-life case of the “Missing Mrs. Christie” became a tabloid sensation, but the reasons behind her disappearance remain unknown. Now, 100 years later, a devoted superfan stumbles upon the clues that could finally crack the case, launching a coming-of-age journey of memory and self-discovery – with the thrill of a good old-fashioned mystery.

“For budding detectives and soul searchers… whet your inner Hercule Poirot.” – San Francisco Chronicle

Presented by Diane & Clark Slipher

Executive Producer
