Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of year, but by morning is one passenger fewer.

Isolated and with a killer in their midst, the passengers rely on detective Hercule Poirot to identify the murderer — in case he or she decides to strike again.

Wright State University
Feb. 15-18
Herbst Theatre, Creative Arts Center [Dayton]

Directed by Marya Spring Cordes

In our Herbst Theatre, we’re presenting a rare chance to see the original classic drama and its unlikely sequel side-by-side. Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House is one of the most important works of world theatre, setting the stage for a revolution in psychological realism with one woman’s discovery of her own strength and independence in a world determined to crush her. As one critic said, Nora’s was “the door slam heard round the world.” Frank McGinnis’ contemporary translation brings Ibsen’s landmark of modern drama to vivid life.

Two sisters, their maid, their a dog live out their lives on the bleak English moors, dreaming of love and power. The arrival of a hapless governess and a moor-hen set off a strange and dangerous course of events. THE MOORS is a dark comedy about love, desperation, and visibility.
