MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS by Agatha Christie

Eight suspects, one thrilling ride... Winter 1934. The luxury Orient Express is travelling through Europe when its journey is halted by a snowdrift. A passenger is found stabbed in his bed, and famous detective Hercule Poirot - who happens to be on his way back to London from Istanbul - is called upon to investigate the murder. Each of his fellow travellers is suspicious...

"Murder on the Orient Express" is widely regarded as one of Agatha Christie’s greatest literary achievements. First published in 1934 and adapted numerous times for the big and small screen, the elegant murder mystery about an unlikely cast of potential suspects, all with alibis trapped aboard the luxurious Orient Express during a snow storm,  features one of the most iconic fictional detectives of all time – Belgian private detective Hercule Poirot. 

Agatha Christie's classic mystery "Murder on the Orient Express", in an adaptation for stage by Tony-nominated playwright Ken Ludwig, had its world premiere at the multi-award-winning McCarter Theatre, Princeton in 2017, directed by Emily Mann. Since then the play has been widely produced with enormous success, promising fans of the mystery classic an unforgettable suspenseful, thrilling ride aboard the legendary Orient Express!
