About the Show
Beautifully adapted for the stage by American playwright Ken Ludwig, Murder on the Orient Express is perhaps Agatha Christie’s best-known work and features her celebrated detective, Hercule Poirot.
Thanks to years’ worth of film and television adaptations, many will be familiar with the story and Hercule Poirot, his famous moustache and sense of style. In this particular instance, it is 1934 and Poirot is recovering from a difficult case in Syria. He must travel unexpectedly from Istanbul to London on the unusually packed first-class cabin of the Orient Express.
It doesn’t matter if theatre goers already know “whodunnit”, the pleasure will be in the escape and suspense of the journey.
The running time is approximately 2.5 hours, including a 20 minute intermission.
