The Unexpected Guest

You can’t believe your eyes at an Agatha Christie mystery, because nothing is what it seems to be. It’s no different for The Unexpected Guest. As the show begins, Michael Starkwedder has had some car trouble, and he goes to a nearby house for help. Instead of a helping hand, he finds a dead man on the study floor, his wife standing over him with a gun in her hand. Starkwedder sets out to prove she’s innocent, but he’s got motives of his own for finding the real killer. 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Through February 14. Playhouse 1960, 6814 Grant Road. For information, call 281-587-8243 or visit www.playhouse1960.com. $13 to $15.
