A train, a murder, a web of secrets
The plot is as classic as it is electrifying: Hercule Poirot finds himself aboard the Orient Express between Istanbul and Calais when a man is brutally murdered and the train gets stuck in a snowdrift. No one can escape, and no one can remain unnoticed. It is precisely from this closed situation that the production derives its tension, precision, and appeal to the audience.
