Ludwig’s adaptation of the Agatha Christie classic boasts all the
glamour, intrigue and suspense of Dame Agatha’s celebrated novel,
with a healthy dose of humor to quicken the pace. Just after
midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The
luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of the year, but
by the morning it is one passenger fewer. An American tycoon lies
dead in his compartment, stabbed eight times, his door locked from
the inside. Isolated and with a killer in their midst, the
passengers rely on detective Hercule Poirot to identify the
murderer – in case he or she decides to strike again.</p>

mid-40’s to late 50’s, French/Belgian accent)</em>:
Meticulous and exacting, Poirot is a keen observer of detail and
an astute judge of character. He is moral and intellectual,
with a strong sense of right and wrong that guides him even when
he doesn’t follow the law. He’s also somewhat fussy and vain,
and enjoys creature comforts.</li>

BOUC<span> </span><em
style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; outline: 0px;">(M,
30+, French)</em>: A young or middle-aged man of good humor,
Monsieur Bouc is an old friend of Poirot’s and is a director of
the Compagnie Internationale des Wagon-Lits which operates the
Orient Express. He is mildly impressed with his own importance
on the train, but not in an arrogant way. He appears removed
from the crime, often acting as Poirot’s sounding board, much
like Captain Hastings in the Christie novels. (Think “a French
Dr. Watson.”)</li>

and the play’s murder victim, Ratchett is brusque and
unforgiving, with a threatening demeanor and a whiplash of a
voice. He’s made plenty of enemies… almost everyone has wished
him dead. Note: The actor who is cast will double with Colonel
Arbuthnot (described below) and must display two distinct
characters.</li>

and very matter of fact. He’s hopelessly in love with Mary
Debenham. Note: The actor who is cast will double with Samuel
Ratchett (described above) and must display two distinct
characters.</li>

style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; outline: 0px;">(F,
Early 20’s, Hungarian)</em>: Brilliantly beautiful and always
dressed to the nines in furs and diamonds. Christie describes
her as “timid and charming…exotic and beautiful.” Note: In the
novel and films, the Countess is accompanied by her husband, the
Count. The Count does not exist in this adaptation, and
Ludwig’s Countess character is somewhat of an amalgamation of
the two. She is also a trained physician which serves to
eliminate yet another Christie character (the Doctor).</li>

DRAGOMIROFF<span> </span><em
style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; outline: 0px;">(F,
60+, Russian)</em>: A Russian princess, now in her seventies,
described as entering her compartment “like a galleon in full
sail.” Expensively dressed and handsomely bejeweled. Described
by Christie as “one of the ugliest old ladies Poirot had ever
seen. It was an ugliness of distinction – it fascinated rather
than repelled.” Speaks in rather autocratic tones to pretty
much everyone, especially her lady’s maid.</li>

style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; outline: 0px;">(M,
any age, French)</em>: Professional in demeanor, he is
knowledgeable and a bit overconfident, but not arrogant. He has
a quiet, almost grave sense of humor. He’s seen a lot in his
years on the Orient Express, and he knows his way around the
train. <span> </span><em

40+, any American accent)</em>: An outspoken, entitled
wealthy American in her fifties, well dressed with a touch of
flamboyance, Mrs. Hubbard is a tough-talking broad with rough
edge and a bold sense of humor which irritates many of the
Europeans.</li>
