The luxury train is surprisingly full for the time of year, butbymorning therewill beonepassenger less. AnAmerican tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed 12 times, his door locked from the inside. Isolated with the murderer ona snowed-in train,HerculePoirot mustunravel thisverycomplexmurder mystery… Or it would be more accurate to say that the crime solving will have to be done by Andrija Milošević, in the role of the famous Belgian detective, on the stage of VukTheatre on 25th September. Directing the play od theatre Boško Buha is Darijan Mihajlović, based on the Ken Ludwig adaptation and the text that’s been translated from English by Ivana Dimić.

But there’s nobody like Poirot, andMilošević will have to “fill some really big boots”. Many great actors havepreviouslyportrayedthisdetective, whohas somanyunusual character traits and suchwell-developed “little grey cells”. Albert Finney, Kenneth Branagh and the unsurpassed David Suchet are just a fewof them. We start by asking Milošević if he even likes Agatha Christie... “Shewrotemasterpieces of that genre of literature that are etched deeply into the cultural heritage of theworld.Mystery and the struggle for justice, geniuses fromtheperiphery who save the world, those are premises that I adore. I approached my work on this role with a lot of passion and love, and I’mcertain of the success of this latest production of Boško Buha Theatre.” The character of Hercule Poirot has been portrayed by 26 actors for the stage, television, film and radio MURDE R ON T HE OR I ENT EXPR ESS Poirot is one of the most beloved literary characters, and he also happens to have been portrayed phenomenally by David Suchet. Will your Hercule resemble his or do you intend to make him completely different and authentic? Maybe even comical? “Hercule Milošević, or Andrija Poirot, will be authentically mine. My small, personal and also slightly mischievous act. I will run around between melodramatic, emotional relationships and action-comedy scenes that switch to exciting mystery in the uncovering of the crime. It will ultimately be a brilliant exposéof the genius detective.” Kenneth Branagh didn’t really appear to excel as Poirot. How did you like his Hercule? “Those are extraordinary stories and I liked the way he did it. It's really inspiring to see the love with which he approached his work on those films.” And finally, did you find any similarities between yourself and Poirot; and how are your ‘little grey cells’? “We agreed immediately, Hercule and I, that I’mmore important than him in this story and that he will help to lubricate my grey cells, which are slightly rusty, with new perspectives.” Agata Kristi je najobjavljivanija autorka svih vremena. Jedino Biblija i Šekspir premašuju ukupni tiraž njenih dela Agatha Christie is the best-selling fiction writer of all time. Her works are outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare Hercule will be my little, personal, slightly mischievous act, says Andrija Milošević, speaking about the theatre play in which he will portray Agatha Christie’s famous detective
