Bitter rivals. Buried secrets. A love to die for.

On board a luxurious cruise under the heat of the Egyptian sun, a couple’s idyllic honeymoon is cut short by a brutal murder. As secrets that have been buried in the sands of time finally resurface, can the world-famous detective, Hercule Poirot, untangle the web of lies and solve another crime?

Following the sell-out tour of Murder on the Orient Express, the European premiere of this thrilling production reunites writer Ken Ludwig, celebrated director Lucy Bailey (The Other Boleyn Girl, CFT; Witness for the Prosecution) and Fiery Angel.

Starring as Poirot is Mark Hadfield (Belfast; Outlander; Wallander), who will be joined on stage by Glynis Barber (Dempsey and Makepeace, EastEnders) and Bob Barrett (Murder on the Orient Express, Holby City). This brand new adaptation of the Agatha Christie classic is not to be missed.
