Fall Production

Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks somewhere in the forests of Yugoslavia. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of the year, but by the morning, it is one passenger fewer. An American lies dead in his compartment, stabbed a dozen times, his door locked from the inside. Isolated and with a killer in their midst, detective Hercule Poirot must identify the murderer – before he or she decides to strike again. 

If you’re used to a certain type of adaptation of an Agatha Christie mystery, with a lot of monologues and extensive exposition, this is not one of those adaptations. Ken Ludwig's fast pace script  with his touch of humor reads like a script and brings to life  Christie's memorable characters in this exciting, glamorous, most famous story. 

Dark secrets, justice, revenge, hidden agendas, gray morality, and common purpose bring together a cast of diverse characters of wildly varying backgrounds, as Christie’s most famous detective ponders the answer to the question: what is more important? What is right or what is lawful?
