Details

Wilkes University Theatre presents the mystery-thriller, "Murder on the Orient Express" by Agatha Christie; April 16, 17, 18 at 8pm and April 18, 19 at 2pm. Adapted for the stage by Ken Ludwig. The story:

Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of the year, but by the morning it is one passenger fewer. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed eight times, his door locked from the inside. Isolated and with a killer in their midst, the passengers rely on detective Hercule Poirot to identify the murderer – in case he or she
decides to strike again.

General admission tickets are $15, seniors and students are $10 dollars, and Wilkes students staff and faculty are free with a Wilkes ID. Tickets may be purchased online at wilkes.edu/theatre, or they may be purchased at the box office, starting an hour before any performance. Come ready to gasp, laugh, and have a great time!
