On October 14, 2005 a new version of play And Then There Were None, written by Kevin Elyot and directed by Steven Pimlott opened at the Gielgud Theatre in London.
For this version, Elyot returned to the book version of story and restored the original ending where both Vera and Lombard die and Wargarve commits suicide. The version of the rhyme and island name used was "Ten Little Soldiers" and "Soldier Island" as per current printings of the novel. Despite very positive reviews, the play closed on January 14, 2006.
