AGATHA CHRISTIE’S MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS
SEPTEMBER 15-OCTOBER 8, 2023
ADAPTED FOR THE STAGE BY KEN LUDWIG
DIRECTED BY DAVID ALAN MORRISON
Ken Ludwig’s clever adaptation of the Agatha Christie classic boasts all the glamour, intrigue and suspense of Dame Agatha’s celebrated novel, with a healthy dose of humor to quicken the pace. Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of the year, but by the morning it is one passenger fewer. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed eight times, his door locked from the inside. Isolated and with a killer in their midst, the passengers rely on detective Hercule Poirot to identify the murderer – in case he or she decides to strike again…
Approximate Run Time: 2 hours and 15 minutes (including intermission)
