Film, TV or Theatrical Adaptations
The novel was adapted in 1992 for the series Agatha Christie's Poirot with David Suchet as Poirot. The adaptation is overall faithful to the book but lacks certain characters such as Raikes. Blunt's niece therefore has not as great a role as in the novel. The adaption for TV has gained much praise in several countries, standing out as one of the darkest episodes of the series, in contrast to adaptions that have been lighter in tone.
The novel was adapted for BBC Radio in 2004, with John Moffatt as Poirot.

Famous quotes containing the word theatrical:
“A Carpaccio in Venice, la Berma in Phèdre, masterpieces of visual or theatrical art that the prestige surrounding them made so alive, that is so invisible, that, if I were to see a Carpaccio in a gallery of the Louvre or la Berma in some play of which I had never heard, I would not have felt the same delicious surprise at finally setting eyes on the unique and inconceivable object of so many thousands of my dreams.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
