ITV adapted the story into a television programme in the series Agatha Christies Poirot, starring David Suchet as Hercule Poirot and Zoë Wanamaker as Ariadne Oliver. Illustration to The Golden Stairs by Sarah Doyle, 2016, Joanna Gration⠀ Poem extract © Sarah Doyle 2013, written for the Pre-Raphaelite Society Are we the weavers of a dream, the bringers of a golden sleep? Where images, not what they seem, insinuate themselves to creep, fleet-footed, on a conjured stair, suspended in the ochre air.Īre we God’s angels, brought to Earth, the wearers of a human face, investigating mankind’s worth, on death, to claim our Heaven’s grace? Though we, ourselves, are fallen things no more to fly, bereft of wings.
