About the Show
May 13 - July 2, 2023
adapted for the stage by KEN LUDWIG, directed by RISA BRAININ
Passengers aboard the opulent Orient Express awake to frightful news: Overnight, the American business mogul among them was stabbed to death behind locked doors. Thankfully, debonair detective Hercule Poirot is on the train and on the case. He promptly begins interviewing suspects, securing alibis and forming theories about the killer, who remains at large and could be closing in on the next victim. As the plot thickens and the travelers grow restless, Poirot presents two viable scenarios about who murdered the mogul and why, taking the audience on a wildly glamorous crime-solving ride.
Agatha Christie’s famous novel is a meditation on revenge and justice. Ken Ludwig’s adaptation for the stage, written at the request of the Agatha Christie Estate, streamlines the plot (inspired by the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby) and the number of characters, but it keeps the mystery and famous-if-you-know-it ending.
