SYNOPSIS: 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.
CHARACTERS
- HERCULE POIROT– Iconic character. Agatha Christie’s most famous detective. Poirot is fastidious, thorough, a touch ridiculous, and incredibly observant and intelligent. He is both arrogant and humble to fault. Belgian accent.
- MONSIEUR BOUC- The owner of Wagon Lit, Orient Express. Bouc is a middle-aged man with a youthful vigor and attitude. Gregarious, honest and forthright, he puts his friends and customers above profit. French accent.
- MARY DEBENHAM- A governess. Anxious, but also cool and determined, Mary has a certain sadness about her, as well as many secrets. She is carrying on a secret affair with Colonel Arbuthnot. American accent.
- HECTOR MACQUEEN– Personal assistant and secretary to Samuel Ratchett, McQueen is a nervous character with a stutter that appears when he is especially anxious. American accent.
- MICHEL THE CONDUCTOR- Competent and organized. French accent.
- PRINCESS DRAGOMIROFF- Displaced Russian nobility. The Princess is a battleship: determined, arrogant, and accustomed to getting her way. Russian accent.
- GRETA OHLSSON- A Catholic missionary and baby nurse, currently serving as a companion to Princess Dragomiroff. Swedish accent.
- COUNTESS ANDRENYI- In addition to being married to a count (and thus, nobility), she also is a doctor. Beautiful, educated, charming, and intelligent enough to match wits with Poirot. Hungarian accent.
- HELEN HUBBARD- Not exactly what she seems, Hubbard comes across as a gregarious, loud, obnoxious American busybody who has been married multiple times. Must be able to sing and do a little dancing. American accent.
- HEAD WAITER- (doubles with Michel the Conductor) French accent.
- SAMUEL RATCHETT- A dangerous and unlikable man. American accent (mobster – possibly Brooklyn or Chicago style).
