Ten Little Indians (sometimes known as And Then There Were None) is arguably Agatha Christie’s most famous play and certiainly one of her most enduring. But even in its millionth incarnation, it’s a hoot. In case you don’t know the setup: 10 strangers are invited to Indian Island, off the coast of Devon, England, for a holiday. Once there, they find they are stranded, and a mysterious disembodied voice accuses each of them of murder—and someone sets about picking them off one by one, according to the rhyme “Ten Little Indians.” Nothing novel here, but a thriller where people are trapped and killed is always fun, and director Scott Dittman keeps things moving at breakneck speed. The actors all have a kick—especially a gleeful Wakai Sol as an exotic adventurer and Jennifer Bishton (pictured, right, with Juliet M. Rivera, left), who works up a real lather playing fervently religious Miss Emily Brent. Whether you know whodunit or not, you will enjoy the intimacy of the Knightsbridge Theatre and the energy of the cast and the script. The ending’s a killer. (Through May 4)  Bryan Buss
