Hercules Poirot in Buenos Aires!? Yes, Argentina’s top English-language theater company, The Suburban Players, has just premiered its version of this classic Agatha Christie whodunnit, with shows on Saturdays and Sundays throughout June.

Founded in 1963, The Suburban Players’ diverse repertoire includes comedies, mysteries, musicals, and dramas. This fall, the crew of amateur actors thrusts us into a murder mystery on the Orient Express after an avalanche has stopped the famous train in its tracks. Can the greatest detective in the world navigate a maze of clues and suspects to unmask the killer before he (or she) strikes again?
