A murder mystery on board a river cruiser in three acts taken from Death on the Nile. Kay Ridgeway has led a charmed life. Blessed with beauty, enormous wealth, and a new husband, she embarks on a honeymoon voyage down the Nile. Fatal circumstances await when the idyllic surroundings are shattered by a shocking and brutal murder. Under scrutiny is a multitude of memorable passengers, all with a reason to kill. The tension and claustrophobia builds, as a shocking and audacious conspiracy is laid bare.

The scene of the play is laid throughout in the observation saloon of the paddle steamer ‘Lotus’ on the Nile between Shellal and Wadi Halfa.
