Agatha Christie’s

Murder on the Orient Express

A Classic Whodunit

October 14 to November 1

Adapted for the stage by Ken Ludwig 

An avalanche stops the luxurious Orient Express dead in its tracks during a winter storm in 1934. There’s a murder, a killer still on board, a train full of suspects, and an impossible case to solve. Can the debonair Hercule Poirot, the world’s most famous detective, crack a case riddled with deception, revenge, and justice before the train reaches its destination? 

This clever adaptation of the Agatha Christie classic boasts all the glamour, intrigue, and suspense of the celebrated novel, alongside a healthy dose of dark humour to create a deliciously thrilling ride and ingenious murder mystery. 

Gripping, tense, and masterfully cryptic, you will be on the edge of your seat guessing until the train reaches the end of its line and Poirot delivers his breathtaking verdict. 

Recommended for ages 12 and up.
