Strangers on a Train

Step aboard for a gripping new thriller direct from the West End starring Lewis Cope and Jonny Labey.
 
Based on the novel by Patricia Highsmith (The Talented Mr Ripley) and inspired by Hitchcock’s iconic film, Strangers on a Train arrives on stage in a thrilling new production directed by Roxana Silbert.
Two strangers meet on a train. A casual conversation turns deadly when charismatic Charles Bruno proposes the perfect crime: he’ll murder Guy Haines’ unfaithful wife – if Guy agrees to kill Bruno’s father. Guy laughs it off. Bruno doesn’t.
 
When Bruno delivers on his promise, Guy is pulled into a nightmare he can’t escape – caught in a tightening web of lies, guilt and terror.
 
Dark, fast-paced and full of tension, Strangers on a Train is a gripping psychological thriller that will keep you on edge to the very last moment.
