Full company announced for MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS at Chichester Festival Theatre

The full company for Chichester Festival Theatre's brand-new staging of Agatha Christie's classic Murder on the Orient Express, running from 13 May-4 June, have been announced.

Adapted by Ken Ludwig, Olivier Award winning Henry Goodman makes his return to Chichester, following appearances in Yes, Prime minister (2010) and The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui (2012/13), to play Poirot. He is joined by Marc Antolin as Michel the Conductor, Philip Cairns as Colonel Arbuthnot, Samuel Collings as Hector MacQueen, Joanna McCallum as Princess Dragomiroff, Taz Munyaneza as Mary Debenham, Patrick Robinson as Monsieur Bouc, Laura Rogers as Countess Andrenyi, Sara Stewart as Helen Hubbard, Joanna van Kampen as Greta Ohlsson and Timothy Watson as Samuel Ratchett, together with Matt Addis, Kelvin Ade, Joelle Dyson, Jacqueline Tate and juvenile actors Sophie Bye and Eleanor Sebastian.

The world-renowned detective, Hercule Poirot, boards an unusually busy Orient Express with the hope of enjoying a luxurious journey from Istanbul to Calais. When the train screeches to a halt due to a snow drift and a body is found, it will lead Poirot on his hardest case yet in order to find the killer and stop them.

Murder on the Orient Express is directed by former CFT Artistic Director Jonathan Church and designed by Robert Jones, with lighting by Mark Henderson, music by Adrian Sutton, sound by Christopher Shutt and movement by Lucy Hind.
