A delightful retelling of a classic whodunit
The UWL Department of Theatre and Dance will present Agatha Christie’s murder mystery thriller, "Murder on the Orient Express," adapted by Ken Ludwig.
The production runs at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 14-15 and 20-22, along with Sunday matinees at 2 o'clock Oct. 16 and 23 in Toland Theatre, Truman T. Lowe Center for the Arts, 333 N. 16th St.
Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of year, but by the morning it is one passenger fewer. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed eight times, his door locked from the inside. Isolated and with a killer in their midst, the passengers rely on detective Hercule Poirot to identify the murderer—in case he or she decides to strike again.
