Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The next morning, an American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed a dozen times, his door locked from the inside. Isolated and with a killer in their midst, the passengers rely on famed detective Hercule Poirot to identify the murderer before they strike again. The play adaptation of Agatha Christie’s famous murder mystery first premiered in 2017, and the 1974 film adaptation received 6 Academy Award nominations, including one win. Rated PG

Sponsored in part by Seminole County and the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Arts & Culture, and by the Flordia Council on Arts and Culture.
