Murder on the Orient Express

Tue 21 Jan 2025 - Sat 25 Jan 2025

Winter 1934 and an avalanche stops The Orient Express dead in its tracks. A murder. A train full of suspects. An impossible case. Trapped in the snow with a killer still on-board, can the world’s most famous detective, Hercule Poirot, crack the case before the train reaches its final destination?

Starring Michael Maloney (Truly, Madly, Deeply; Belfast; Young Victoria; The Crown) as the celebrated Belgian sleuth, Murder on the Orient Express is one of Agatha Christie’s greatest literary achievements, with a final twist that is amongst her very best. Gripping, tense and masterfully cryptic, this brand-new production is a deliciously thrilling ride and an ingenious murder mystery, guaranteed to keep you guessing until the end of the line.

First class. Beautifully done.

Joining Michael Maloney, the stellar cast includes Bob Barrett, Mila Carter, Rebecca Charles, Debbie Chazen, Simon Cotton, Jean-Baptiste Fillon, Christine Kavanagh, Paul Keating, Iniki Mariano, Rishi Rian and Alex Stedman. Also in the cast are Antony Gabriel, Jasmine Raymond and Beth Tuckey.

Following a sell-out tour of the best-selling crime novel of all time, And Then There Were None, Fiery Angel and Lucy Bailey (Director of West End Witness For The Prosecution) will bring Ken Ludwig’s adaptation of another Agatha Christie classic to the stage in 2024.

The Stage

Michael Maloney, a white male with a moustache, is dressed as Hercule Poirot. He's wearing a grey trench coach, grey bowler hat and leather gloves and is stood on stage holding a walking stick and looking perplexed.

Two women are standing in a train carriage looking at something we can't see. Both are white middle-aged women wearing 1920s clothing and have their hair up.

Three white, middle-aged men are standing in a vintage train carriage. The man on the left looks concerned and is wearing a brown tweed suit, the man on the right is wearing a striped suit with a brown trilby and brown fur coat over the top. The man in the middle is smiling and has his arms around both of them.

All cast members are standing on stage looking frightened. They are facing away from the audience and looking down at the floor with a blue haze above them and a blue spotlight on them.
