Fiddlers Three is a play written byAgatha Christie in 1972.
It was first written asFiddlers Five, under which title it toured successfully in 1971, after opening at Southsea on 7 June.[1] The following year, the revised version toured briefly after its premiere at theYvonne Arnaud Theatre inGuildford on 1 August, withDoris Hare andRaymond Francis heading the cast.[2] This production was directed by Allan Davis, with sets designed by Anthony Holland and lighting by Michael Saddington.
Christie had pushed for the play to be performed, much against the wishes of her daughter,Rosalind Hicks, who was protective of her mother's reputation and felt that this piece would damage it.[3] The revised version incorporated several suggestions from Davis, who had seen the previous 1971 version.[4]
Despite touring more extensively in 1973, this time directed by Jan Butlin, withPeggy Mount starring opposite Raymond Francis,[5] the play never transferred to theWest End.
