When the estate of the celebrated writer Agatha Christie approached famed playwright Ken Ludwig to adapt Dame Agatha’s most enduring novel and put it on stage, he agreed with alacrity – just as quickly as it takes Hercule Poirot to solve the most thrilling case of his entire career.
Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the famed Orient Express in its tracks. By morning, one passenger is dead. Isolated and with a killer in their midst, the passengers rely on the celebrated Belgian private detective Hercule Poirot to identify the murderer. Poirot must deploy his ‘little grey cells’ on the most difficult case of his career and one that will force him to question his deepest beliefs. With a train full of remarkable suspects and an alibi for each one, it’s the perfect mystery for detective Hercule Poirot.
