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>

style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; outline: 0px;">(M,
middle-age, American accent)</em>: An American
businessman 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>

handsome 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>

ELÉNA ANDRENYI<span> </span><em
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>

English beauty in her late twenties, Mary bears a certain
sadness in her eyes. When she first appears, she is very
anxious.</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>

THE CONDUCTOR/HEAD WAITER<span> </span><em
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>

Mother and Father voices. The voices of the actors playing
Mary Debenham and Samuel Ratchett’s voices (Nanny and The
Man) are also featured in that scene.</p>
