Murder on the Orient Express

Murder on the Orient Express

The thirties of the last century. The elegant Orient Express train faces an unforeseen delay due to a snowstorm. In the midst of this storm, a murder occurs, and Hercule Poirot's return home turns into yet another detective case to solve. Among the passengers, all of whom are potential suspects, each seems to have an unassailable alibi. Poirot sets off from Istanbul, and the story continues on the territory of Yugoslavia, between Vinkovci and Brod.

Agatha Christie, the author of over 60 crime novels, presents the Belgian detective Poirot in 33 of them, and "Murder on the Orient Express" is among her most famous works. Ken Ludwig, a renowned contemporary playwright, adapted this story for the theater. Known for the plays "Lend Me a Tenor" and "Moon Over Buffalo," Ludwig highlights the comedic aspect of Christie's mystery, which is also the essence of the similarity between mystery and comedy as defined by Northrop Frye.
