The opulent Orient Express stops in its tracks just after midnight and by morning the luxurious train is one passenger fewer. While details of an American tycoon’s brutal death come to light, detective Hercule Poirot begins unraveling the sordid circumstances of his demise. Interviewing subjects, securing alibis, and forming theories, Poirot races to unmask the killer before they can strike again. Ken Ludwig’s stage adaptation of Agatha Christie’s influential mystery novel is a wildly glamourous ride from start to finish, culminating in a shocking conclusion audiences won’t soon forget.

Director: Daniel B. Ellis
