A large country residence cut off from the outside world. Eight women are preparing for Christmas. All of a sudden, the master of the house is discovered dead in his bedroom. Who's the murderer? The classic detective story by Robert Thomas features a star-studded line-up of the Maly Theatre.


«..In this production, the denouement will surprise even the most experienced connoisseurs of sophisticated plot twists ... everyone is a criminal and a victim at the same time. So you find yourself feeling bad for each of the characters. Because none of them truly realizes that the greatest value in this life is love».
