All aboard for mystery! This 2017 adaptation of Christie’s
suspenseful classic invites audiences to step aboard a luxurious
train where mystery and intrigue unfold as the legendary detective
Hercule Poirot tackles one of his most perplexing cases. When a
murder is discovered, every passenger becomes a suspect. Poirot
must use his brilliant deductive skills to unravel the tangled web
of clues and deceit. Ken Ludwig, one of America’s most produced
playwrights, captures the essence of Christie’s storytelling in
this adaptation while adding his signature dose of humor.
The production is directed by Don Bernardo, who also directed
Ludwig’s adaptations of Robin Hood and The Three Musketeers in the
previous two CVLT seasons. Following the Sunday matinee on Feb. 2,
the director will present a talk entitled “Agatha and the
Train,” revealing the history and lore behind the real
Orient Express and the train's influence on fiction and film,
including Christie's iconic novel.
