Rachel Wagstaff's play The Mirror Crack'd is a captivating adaptation of Agatha Christie's beloved novel, bringing a classic Miss Marple mystery to the stage with added psychological depth.
Set in 1960s England, the sleepy village of St Mary Mead is abuzz with the arrival of glamorous American film star Marina Gregg, who has bought the historic Gossington Hall. However, the Hollywood glitter quickly tarnishes when a woman named Heather Leigh dies after drinking a poisoned cocktail at a party hosted by Marina.
Confined to her home due to an accident, the astute Miss Jane Marple finds herself drawn into the investigation, piecing together clues from her armchair with the help of her friend Dolly Bantry and Chief Inspector Craddock. As the mystery unfolds, a web of secrets, betrayals, and past tragedies is revealed, particularly surrounding Marina Gregg and her complicated history.

Wagstaff's adaptation delves not only into the "who" but also the "why" behind the murder, exploring themes of memory, illusion, ambition, and the lasting impact of past events. The play cleverly uses flashbacks and re-examinations of the fateful party from various perspectives, showcasing how individuals color their own truths and disguise hidden darkness. Miss Marple, with her keen intellect and understanding of human nature, must navigate this intricate maze to uncover the shocking truth and the motivations behind a seemingly inexplicable crime.​
