CONWAY — Following last year’s successful production of “The Mousetrap,” M&D Playhouse is revisiting the world of Agatha Christie with a production of one of her most well-known mysteries, “Murder on the Orient Express.”

This version of the Christie whodunit, which opened at the Eastern Slope Inn Playhouse in North Conway on Thursday, Sept 21, with shows Thursday through Sunday for the next three weeks, is adapted by Ken Ludwig, the playwright best-known for the farce “Lend Me a Tenor” and the musical comedy “Crazy for You.”
