When the luxurious train from Istanbul to Calais comes to a standstill due to a snowdrift, there is suddenly a dead body. Of course, nobody really wants to have seen anything. But one thing is certain - the murderer must be among the passengers. By chance, master detective Hercule Poirot is also on board the train. He shrewdly takes on the case, only to come across one or two surprising twists in his fight for the truth.
Agatha Christie's legendary Murder on the Orient Express, which has been filmed many times, promises the best entertainment full of suspense, wit and criminalistic flair. Director Sascha Hawemann, whose work has shaped the German theater landscape for years, most recently brought Maxie Wanders Guten Morgen, du Schöne/Sisters to the stage of the M*Halle in Schwerin.
