DUNDAS COUNTY PLAYERS ARE BRINGING “MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS”, A CLASSIC MYSTERY, TO WINCHESTER'S OLD TOWN HALL THIS SPRING Beautifully adapted for the stage by American playwright Ken Ludwig, Murder on the Orient Express is perhaps Agatha Christie's best-known work and features her celebrated detective, Hercule Poirot. The show is directed by Amanda Burger and will take the stage at the Old Town Hall in Winchesteron April 25, 26 and 27 and May 2, 3 and 4. In the past years, Amanda Burger has directedOn This Day, The Black Albatross and the Treasure of Puffin McGuffin, and Sherwood: The Adventures of Robin Hoodfor Dundas County Players. This followed a long professional career in theatre in Canada as a stage manager, director and choreographer. Thanks to years’ worth of film and television adaptations, many will be familiar with the story and Hercule Poirot, his famous moustache and sense of style, who solves cases by using his “little grey cells”. In this particular instance, it is 1934 and Poirot is recovering from a difficult case in Syria. He must travel unexpectedly from Istanbul to London on the unusually packed first-class cabin of the Orient Express. Dundas County Players (DCP) are pleased to announce a cast and crew of veterans as well as new faces for its upcoming production: Tony Glen - Hercule Poirot Patrick Burger - M. Bouc Heather Baldwin - Mary Debenham Connor Sears - Head Waiter and Announcer Clinton St. Louis - Michel the Conductor Max Tufts - Hector McQueen Heather Vos - Princess Dragomiroff Martina Bols - Greta Ohlson Ryan Gideon - Samuel Ratchett Chantal Nugent - Countess Andrenyi Erika Sears - Helen Hubbard Tom Schoch - Colonel Arbuthnot Jenna Gernon(producer), Chantal Arsenault (assistant stage manager) and Samantha Li (props) are new to their roles. They will be working as part of the production team with Karen Stewart (stage manager) and Gabriele Thomas (assistant director). Several veteran DCP members are responsible for set design (Tony Glen), set building (JP Leduc and helpers), lighting design (Aaron Dellah), sound (Jim Perkins) and costumes (Cathy Cochrane). “What a pleasure to work with wonderful actors portraying a cast of compelling characters who manage to balance passion, sophistication and humour,” explains Burger. “I love the masterful adaptation of Christie's narrative which will captivate audiences and take them on a thrilling ride into a completely different world.” “I'd like to give a big shout out to the crew as well. This play is a tour-de-force for the costume, light, sound and set designer, the props mistress and the stage management team as a whole. There has to be huge attention paid to detail to create the illusion of 1930s glamour and luxury aboard the famedOrient Expresstrain,” added Burger. It doesn't matter if theatre goers already know “whodunnit”, the pleasure will be in the escape and suspense of the journey. Performances will take place on April 25, 26 and 27 and May 2, 3 and 4.
