Description

based on the book by Agatha Christie
adapted for the stage by Ken Ludwig
directed by Michael Lugering

This new adaptation by Ken Ludwig (Lend Me a Tenor, Moon over Buffalo) captures the spirit of Agatha Christie’s original classic with healthy dose of comedy.  Famous detective Hercule Poirot boards a luxury train the famous Orient Express.  But enroute to Western Europe from Instanbul, an American tycoon is found stabbed eight times, his door locked from the inside.  Poirot must identify the murderer before it is too late.

Agatha Christie is not the bestselling novelist in history for nothing, and Ken Ludwig’s adaptation strikes the perfect balance of the cerebral and the comic. Get on board – it’s a great ride.” — Houstonian Magazine
