ON THE FRINGE: Christie in Love

POSTED: Sunday, September 4, 2011, 2:10 PM

Four vivid characters: the titular serial killer (a superbly creepy Ray Saraceni), the Inspector (Tim Moyer), a Constable (Adam Altman) — and a vestibule at Eastern State Penitentiary’s hub. Getting to it, you feel like a dead man walking. Howard Brenton’s play highlights the grim effects of Christie’s crimes (eight known victims from 1943-53, all stowed in his house and garden) on the emotionally overwhelmed investigators. All they glean is “You’ve got to keep love in bounds,” but we — shaken, despite the resistance built up by countless TV killers — leave with much, much more.

Through Sept. 10, The Centre Theater, 208 Dekalb St., Norristown; Sept. 12-17, Eastern State Penitentiary, 2027 Fairmount Ave., $15. MORE INFO HERE.
