There will be a murder in the auditorium… Metaphorically of course. Peacock Society, the South Asian club at EHS, is proud to present their latest production: “Khatra Express,” a thrilling murder mystery that will leave you on the edge of your seat! Set aboard a train hurtling through the Indian countryside, this play will take you on a journey full of suspense, intrigue, and unexpected twists and turns.
The story follows a diverse cast of characters, all traveling on the Khatra Express for their own reasons. But when a murder takes place on board, everyone becomes a suspect. It’s up to the detectives on board to unravel the clues and identify the killer before they strike again.
The production promises to be a visual feast, with elaborate costumes and a beautifully designed set that recreates the interior of a train. The talented cast has been rehearsing for months, perfecting their performances and bringing their characters to life.
