Acme is proud to present our Fall Staged Reading:
Murder on the Orient Express
Written by Ken Ludwig & Agatha Christie
Directed by
Sophia Nachmanoff
Synopsis:
Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express is a playwright adapted by Ken Ludwig from the original novel!
The story begins just after midnight when a massive snowdrift stops the opulent Orient Express in its tracks.
The train is unusually full of diverse passengers.
The next morning, an unpopular American tycoon named Samuel Ratchett is found dead in his locked compartment. He has been stabbed eight times.
Trapped by the snow with a killer among them, the passengers turn to the world-famous Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, who happens to be on board.
Poirot must interview the eccentric passengers, check their alibis, and dig into their hidden pasts.
He uncovers connections to an old, tragic kidnapping case that tore a family apart years earlier. Poirot uses his sharp mind to solve the locked-room murder before the local police arrive.
