The Renton Civic Theatre’s season continues this week with the opening of Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None.”

In this mystery, also known as “The Ten Little Indians,” comedy statuettes of little soldier boys on the mantel of a house on an island off the coast of Devon fall to the floor and break one by one as those in the house succumb to a diabolical avenger.

Eight guests who have never met each other or the apparently absent host and hostesses are lured to the island and, along with the two house servants, marooned. A mysterious voice accuses each of having gotten away with murder and then one drops dead — poisoned. One down and nine to go! The excitement never lets up in this play.

“And Then There Were None” opens at 8 p.m. Friday and runs through Nov. 9. Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays.

Tickets are $22 for adults, $17 for students and seniors. For tickets, call the box office at 425-226-5529 or visit www.rentoncivicthetare.org.

Renton Civic Theatre is located at 507 S. Third St.
