MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS was adapted for the stage by Ken Ludwig and first appeared on stage in 2017.  Derby Dinner’s production was directed by Jim Hesselman with cast members including J.R. Stuart as Hercule Poirot, Matthew Brennan, Rita Thomas, David Hussey, Harli Cooper, Sara King, and more.
