Following its last production, Murder, Denied, an original murder mystery that kept audiences guessing, MacBeth & Cheese is returning to the scene of the crime. But this time, it\u2019s trading an original mystery for a legendary one.<\/p>\n

MacBeth & Cheese invites you to climb aboard the world\u2019s most famous train for Agatha Christie\u2019s classic mystery, Murder on the Orient Express, adapted for the stage by Ken Ludwig and directed by Amy Windle. The production promises the suspense, wit, memorable characters and twists of Christie\u2019s famous mystery.<\/p>\n

\u201cBringing Murder on the Orient Express to the stage has been an absolute joy. It has everything you want in a great night of theater \u2014 a fantastic cast of characters, plenty of laughs, a little glamour and, of course, a murder to solve,\u201d said Amy Windle, director and co-founder of MacBeth & Cheese. \u201cWe\u2019ve had so much fun creating this world, and I can\u2019t wait for our audiences to climb aboard and experience it with us.\u201d<\/p>\n

A luxurious train.<\/p>\n

A raging snowstorm.<\/p>\n

A wealthy passenger found murdered in his compartment.<\/p>\n

The train is stopped in its tracks \u2014 and a killer is trapped on board.<\/p>\n

Now, legendary detective Hercule Poirot must unravel a web of secrets, lies and hidden motives. With a train full of suspects and nowhere to escape, the question is \u2026 can YOU solve the murder before Poirot does?<\/p>\n
