Agatha Christie classic Murder On The Orient Express to tour the UK & Ireland from September 2024.
Lucy Bailey (director of the West End hit Witness for the Prosecution) will direct a new production of Murder On The Orient Express adapted by Ken Ludwig.
The UK & Ireland Tour of Murder On The Orient Express will open on 6 September at the Lowry in Salford and will continue through to 2025, finishing on 26 April at Brighton Theatre Royal.
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.
James Prichard of Agatha Christie Limited said, “We’re thrilled to once again be working with Lucy Bailey and the team at Fiery Angel and excited to bring Ken Ludwig’s magnificent adaptation of one of my great grandmother’s most atmospheric and ingenious stories back to UK audiences.”
Having recently directed three of Christie’s classic thrillers for the stage, this will be Lucy Bailey’s fourth. She said, “Murder on the Orient Express, fast, funny, almost farcical at times but with a dark undercurrent of loss and revenge… A train stuck in a snow drift. The holed up passengers all suspected of murder – what fun to be had!”
