Public Invited to ‘Murder on the Orient Express’ Theater Performance at Mary
Friday, 3月22日, 到周日, 3月24日, 晚上7点.m., in Arno Gustin Hall on campus
俾斯麦，和 Samuel Ratchett receives life-threatening letters while aboard the Orient Express traveling from Istanbul to London in 1934. He approaches Hercule Poirot, a famous detective who happens to be in the same car, 和 dem和s that he investigate the notes. A snowdrift brings the train to a sudden stop only to find Ratchett in his locked cabin dead from multiple stab wounds while lying in bed. There are only eight potential suspects who could have murdered the man 和 Poirot is tasked with finding the killer.
This riveting murder mystery is from Agatha Christie’s novel “Murder on the Orient Express,” 和 first adapted for theater in 2017 by Ken Ludwig. Now the popular play is being performed by the University of Mary Dramatic 艺术 Department Friday, 3月22日, 到周日, 3月24日, 晚上7点.m., in Arno Gustin Hall on campus. Tickets are $10 和 available for purchase at the box office before the show. University of Mary students, faculty, 和 staff receive one free ticket by showing their MCard ID.
“Agatha Christie was a master at creating colorful characters 和 weaving them into an engaging 和 suspenseful story, where the audience is kept guessing who the murderer could be,” 解释了 Chair of the Dramatic 艺术 Department at Mary, 丹Bielinski. “The first play I directed at University of Mary was the “Mousetrap” by Agatha Christie, so it is fun to revisit a murder mystery. They're fun for the students to perform 和 fun for audiences to watch. There's suspense 和 danger, but there's also plenty of humor. It should be a fun evening.”
Twenty-two cast 和 crew members make up University of Mary’s production, including Bielinski as director.
“The most rewarding aspect is to the see the ensemble cast come together in support of each other,比林斯基补充道. “There's a really beautiful chemistry between them on stage 和 off stage.”
Bielinski reminds Agatha Christie fans 和 theatergoers of actor, 生产商, 和 director Kenneth Branagh’s well received motion picture portrayal of this classic back in 2017.
“Branagh adapted this to the big screen several years ago with a star-studded cast, so a lot of folks should be familiar with the story from the movie,比林斯基说. “There are still plenty of twists 和 turns in the stage version that should keep the audience on the edge of their seats.”
