The Garland Civic Theatre will complete its 43rd season with a production of “Verdict” by Agatha Christie.
Kyle McClaran, the theatre’s artistic director, is directing this story of the Hendryks, refugees in England, who have lost everything. Karl, with his talents, charms and hard work, rebuilds their lives, but Anya, his wife is fatally ill. Her old friend, Lisa, who secretly loves Karl, lives with them, runs the house and cares for Anya. All is shattered when wealthy, headstrong Helen Rollander bribes her way into private tutoring by Karl. Even with her infatuation with Karl being denied, she will stop at nothing, not even murder, to possess him.
Anya’s mysterious death, Helen’s lies and eventual suicide bring the story to a suspenseful and terrifying crossroad which appears to leave them with nowhere to turn.
