⭐ AGATHA CHRISTIE’S MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS – ADAPTED BY KEN LUDWIG – ANNOUNCED FOR CHICHESTER FESTIVAL THEATRE ⭐
A new stage adaptation of Agatha Christie’s Murder On The Orient Express has been announced, as part of Chichester Festival Theatre’s 2022 season.
The celebrated detective Hercule Poirot boards the legendary Orient Express, enjoying the prospect of a luxurious rail journey from Istanbul to Calais in the dead of winter.
The train is surprisingly packed for the time of year; only the intervention of the manager secures Poirot a first class berth, alongside an intriguing and glittering company of international travellers.
But just after midnight, the Orient Express screeches to a halt, marooned by a snowdrift. And by morning, one passenger is dead…
Nobody can leave. A guard appears to be missing. A killer is in their midst. And Poirot must deploy his ‘little grey cells’ on the most difficult case of his career: one that will force him to question his deepest beliefs.
This new production will star Henry Goodman as the iconic detective Poirot.
Adapted from Agatha Christie’s masterpiece by Ken Ludwig, whose Olivier and Tony Award-winning stage works include Lend Me a Tenor and Crazy for You, this spectacular and sumptuous new staging is directed by former CFT Artistic Director Jonathan Church (Singin’ in the Rain) and designed by Robert Jones (Oklahoma!).
Murder On The Orient Express will play the Festival Theatre, running from 13th May – 4th June 2022.
Brilliant! ! !
