Written in 1934, “Black Coffee" is Agatha Christie's only stage play that features one of her most famous creations: Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, who is urgently summoned by scientist Sir Claud Amory to help him preserve and ship out his newly discovered formula (critical for British defense during the war). But before Poirot reaches Sir Amory's country estate, the scientist is found dead and his formula stolen. With Captain Hastings by his side, and trusty Inspector Japp, Poirot sets out solve the crime and save the more amiable members of the household from embarrassment, among them Sir Claud's sister, son, niece, daughter-in-law, personal assistant, a creepy butler, and one very strange Italian doctor...
