An exerpt from a review in DC Metro Theater Arts by Ricky Young:

“Aquila always seeks to do things differently from the way they’ve always been done and they have become famous for creating their own style.

So what’s the first order of business in doing an Agatha Christie play in a new style? Change the setting. We are not transported back to 1930’s Egypt aboard the paddle boat Steamer Lotus. We are not watching the play of two newlyweds who expect a romantic vacation up the Nile on a wonderful pleasure cruise that takes a sinister side route when murder strikes. We are in a BBC recording studio in 1940’s London and a cast of characters is about to perform Agatha Christie’s classic “whodunnit”.

The second order of business? Trim the cast. This radio production in 1941 London is in the midst of “the Blitz” and bombs have started falling on the city. Three actors: Lincoln Hudson, Palmyra Mattner, and Toby Miller, playing BBC radio actors, have discovered that they are the only ones to have made it to the studio and they alone must portray the entire dramatis personae of this play. They must play all the characters and the show must go on."
