2. Death on the Nile (Смерть на Ниле)
3. Murder on the Orient Express (Убийство в Восточном экспрессе)

10. An Ideal Husband (Идеальный муж) – Note: This is an Oscar Wilde play, sometimes misattributed.

Russian theatres (Moscow Art Theatre, Sovremennik, regional houses) regularly revive these for their tight plots, ensemble casts, and audience appeal. Translations by classic (Marshak) and modern translators keep them fresh.
