Murder on the Orient Express - School Performance.

La Comédie Humaine presents a school version of Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express, adapted by Ken Ludwig and directed by Martin Lavigne. The production runs approximately 90 minutes without intermission and is designed for secondary-school students in grades 7–11 (ages 12 and up). Aboard the legendary Orient Express travelling from Istanbul to Calais, an inexplicable murder is committed — and every passenger is a suspect. The great Hercule Poirot puts his famous 'little grey cells' to the test to unravel the truth. The audience is invited to play detective, collecting clues and spotting red herrings throughout the performance. The cast of ten includes Louis-Olivier Mauffette as Hercule Poirot, alongside Sophie Paradis, Christine Lamer, Charlène Beaubien, François Gadbois, Kevin Tremblay, Anne Bryan, Maxime Allard, Mélina Duval, and Andrew Albanese. School performances take place on Thursday, October 29, and Friday, October 30, 2026, both at 10:00 AM at Théâtre Desjardins – Salle Jean-Grimaldi in Montréal.
