Murder on the Orient Express.The main reason that the character of Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot has remained so interesting to audiences decades after Agatha Christie first wrote about him in 1920 was due to both his super powers of detection and the enigmatic quality of his person, according to David Sinaiko who will once again play him at Alley Theatre.
"He is multi-faceted. He’s an enigma. He's always a gift to me. As an actor you can do so much with him. There's a challenge to make him interesting and enigmatic and also, may be obvious, hey I get to solve the mystery every night." He said he and Shanahan have discussed that"if Poirot and really the story itself is only a procedural, if it's just CSI England 1926 countryside, he is perfect and it's not that interesting.
"He's pretty diminutive in size. They're always calling him little and egg headed and because he’s a foreigner in England which was especially at the time Christie was writing there were sectors that were quite xenophobic and she puts him into those places," Sinaiko says."He’s very othered and he uses that. He lets people underestimate him. It’s one of the great things to be able to play. He sort of let's people beat up on him so they don't see him coming.
