A train passenger is murdered - Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot (Michael Maloney) must find the culprit. Suspects are portrayed as amusing caricatures, ranging from a shrieky missionary to a mansplaining gangster and a bold American actress. The exposition drags a little as we are slowly introduced to everyone, but the second showcases an imaginative, quirky take on the acclaimed mystery.

Murder on the Orient Express hosted its gala night at The Lowry, Salford on 10 September. Guests in attendance included  actors Harriet Bibby, Emrhys Cooper, Jimmi Harkishin and Fiona Wade. Check out photos here!
