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 Man who always acts in the Severity of Wisdom, or the Haughtiness of Quality, seems to move in a personated Part: It looks too Constrained and Theatrical for a Man to be always in that Character which distinguishes him from others.”
—Richard Steele (1672–1729)
