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.
