Murder on the Orient Express

Boško Buha Theater - Vuk Theater

The 1930s. The elegant train, Orient Express, is forced to unexpectedly stop due to heavy snow. A murder occurs, and Poirot's journey home, which was supposed to be completely peaceful, becomes the scene of another case to be solved. The train is full of suspects, each of whom has a seemingly unbreakable alibi. Poirot's journey begins in Istanbul, and the rest of the story unfolds in - Yugoslavia, between Vinkovci and Brod. Of the 60 crime novels written by Agatha Christie, 33 were mysteries solved by the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, and many consider 'Murder on the Orient Express' to be her best work. This theatrical adaptation was written by Ken Ludwig, a famous contemporary playwright, known to our audience for very successful performances such as 'Lend Me a Tenor' at the National Theatre in Sombor (directed by Olja Đorđević) and 'Moon Over Buffalo' at the National Theatre in Subotica (directed by Darijan Mihajlović). As a brilliant playwright, Ken Ludwig has extracted comedy from Agatha Christie's mystery. Norbert Fray also compared mystery and comedy, finding significant similarities between these two genres: both start from a normal social situation, which is somehow disrupted, and then characters strive to restore balance. Agatha Christie's characters are comedic, extravagant, and 'elevated', and our ensemble is very inclined to interpret such characters.**
