Agatha Christie’s

MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS

Wax your mustache and hold onto your passport for this ingenious murder mystery from the world’s best-selling author of all time. Ten passengers board the luxurious Orient Express but after the train unexpectedly stops in isolated, snow-swept mountains, only nine of them are still alive. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed eight times, his door locked from the inside. Thankfully, debonair detective Hercule Poirot is on the train and on the case. Trapped in the snow with a killer still on-board, can the world’s most famous detective crack the case before the train reaches its final destination? This thrilling ride is guaranteed to keep you guessing until the end of the line.

By Agatha Christie
Adapted for the stage by Ken Ludwig

Directed by Jill Bloede

Interview with Jill Bloede, director for Murder on the Orient Express

Interview with our director for Murder on the Orient Express, Jill Bloede

TC: Describe Murder on the Orient Express in 3 words.
JB: CAPTIVATING CASE + POIROT. (OK, no fair only letting me choose 3 words. How about "You won't see the ending coming" or "Trickiest case for Hercule Poirot")

TC: Welcome back! What shows have you been involved in at Theatre Charlotte recently?
JB: Recently? Well, there was The Nerd, Addams Family, Christmas Carol, and most recently directed The Odd Couple. I had the privilege to perform Penny in You Can't Take it With You, and bucket-list-role: Lady Bracknell in The Importance of Being Earnest

TC: We assume you are thrilled to be directing this show, so talk to us about why you are excited and what you're most looking forward to.
JB: You assume correctly - I'm thrilled to direct this thriller!!! Having directed this one before for Belmont Abbey, I learned a lot and am looking forward to a new bunch of collaborators to bring this great script to life for a larger audience.
