Akhenaten: A Play in Three Acts

Context:

Tom describes this play about Akhenaten as 'terrible' — essentially a standard Christie murder novel transplanted to the 18th dynasty, with characters like Horemheb described as 'a pucker saab' and his wife Mut-Nodjmet who 'undulates her body menacingly.' Christie is said to be snooty about Queen Tiye's old-fashioned dress. A fascinating curiosity for Christie completists.
