It does not matter how many Agatha Christies plays you see, you will always struggle to predict the outcome.

And Then There Were None follows the traditional murder mystery format, with an ending perhaps darker than her other works.

Directed by Joe Harmston, the audience's collective pointing finger changes more times than the suspects' personalities throughout.

Ten people have been invited to stay on Soldier Island by the mysterious Mr Owen and, as the title suggests, they start to croak it one by one.

While the name of the play leaves little to imagine of its ending, it refuses to negate from the tension as the characters become more unsure of themselves.

Special mention must be reserved for Verity Rushworth, formerly Emmerdale's Donna Dingle, for her assured performance as the personable Vera Claythorne.

And Then There Were None really is everything you would expect - if you love this genre of play, you will love this take on a Christie classic.

Catch And Then There Were None at Richmond Theatre before it closes on May 29.
