🚨WARNING🚨Murder mystery contains scenes of murder and mystery🚨
Theatregoers attending a stage production of Murder on the Orient Express are being issued a “trigger warning” about themes of death and guilt. In a move that has left many rolling their eyes, audiences checking the theatre’s website are met with a warning stating the obvious fact that the play contains “themes of death, grief and guilt,” along with “reference to, and depictions of, murder and manslaughter.” As if that weren’t enough, it also cautions about “reference to, and depictions of weapons.”
Matt Newbury, creative director of the Agatha Christie Festival, was among those left baffled by the need for such a warning. “I'm never one to give away the solution when it comes to Agatha Christie mysteries, but—plot spoiler—the clue is definitely in the title,” he said. “Oh, and it's definitely going to take place on the Orient Express. That said, don't let the murder put you off, it's an excellent play!”
