Overview

Step into the world of the Queen of Mystery as Agatha Christie’s premier stage play, “Black Coffee,” comes to Japan. This production marks a significant milestone as it is the only stage play written by Christie herself to feature her most iconic creation, the brilliant detective Hercule Poirot. Directed by Minoru Nosaka, the play invites audiences into a gripping atmosphere of suspense and intellectual wit, where a secluded country estate becomes the setting for a lethal poisoning and the theft of a top-secret chemical formula.

The production boasts a prestigious cast, led by Tsurutaro Kataoka in the role of Poirot, supported by a talented ensemble including Hiroki Suzuki, Hironori Araki, and Masaki Nakao. Performances will span two major cities, starting in Osaka at the COOL JAPAN PARK OSAKA TT Hall before moving to Tokyo’s Shinagawa Prince Hotel Stellar Ball. With a blend of classic British mystery and high-caliber Japanese stage acting, this production is a must-see for fans of the genre looking to witness the legendary Belgian detective solve one of his most puzzling cases live on stage.
