Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express will chug into the Arena Dinner Theatre in Fort Wayne from Oct. 27 to Nov. 11, although tickets remained only for opening night as of press time.
The performance, directed by Chance Parker, stars Scott Rumage as Hercule Poirot, a detective who is tasked with solving the murder of an American tycoon lying dead in his train compartment, stabbed eight times with his door locked from the inside. The passengers of the Orient Express, stopped by a snowdrift just after midnight, must rely on Poirot to find the killer, assumed to be in their midst aboard the train, lest he or she tries to strike again.
Along with the show, bring your appetite for a meal that includes pork chops or portobello mushrooms, with sides, dessert, and coffee or tea.
