Strangers on a Train
Based on the novel by Patricia Highsmith
Starring Hannah Waterman
Directed by Bruce James
A classic thriller packed with mystery and suspense
Based upon the intriguing novel by the writer of The Talented Mr Ripley, Patricia Highsmith's powerful and compelling psychological thriller Strangers on a Train, which was famously filmed by Alfred Hitchcock, perfectly captures a growing sense of claustrophobic terror.
Two young men meet on a train; Guy Haines, an ambitious architect, and Charlie Bruno, a mother-fixated playboy with a taste for danger. As the train takes them to their destination, the two travellers speculate upon what it would be like to commit the perfect murder. With a silver tongue Bruno sets up an unwanted trade-off whereby he will murder Guy's errant wife in return for Guy murdering Bruno s father. The perfect crime with neither murderer knowing his victim. The innocent Guy doesn t realise that this casual encounter is deadly serious and is dragged into a downward spiral of nightmarish control and sinister murder plots when Bruno completes his part of the casual bargain and hounds Guy to round the murder circle.
Directed by Bruce James, this brand new production stars Hannah Waterman. Daughter of Dennis Waterman, Hannah will be best known for her four year stint as Laura Beale in Eastenders although she then went on to win BBC's The Two Of Us singing alongside Marti Pellow.
This gripping new stage adaptation of the classic psychological thriller is sure to keep you in suspense until the very end.
