COMEDY ON THE DISORIENT EXPRESS

By Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur
Based on a play by Charles Bruce Milholland
Adapted by Ken Ludwig

Directed by Robert Kelley

REGIONAL PREMIERE

Broadway ballyhoo meets Hollywood hustle aboard the Twentieth Century Limited, the legendary locomotive that plays streamlined host to this classic screwball comedy from the 1930s. Polished to a deco sparkle by Tony Award-winning farceur Ken Ludwig, it matches an on-the-outs impresario with a mercurial silver screen starlet in a madcap battle of the sexes, hurtling from havoc to hilarity on the disorient express. “A thrilling funhouse ride!” The New Yorker
