The tour is set to begin at the Theatre Royal Windsor on 15th January 2027.
It has been announced that Lewis Cope will take on the role of Charles Bruno, opposite Jonny Labey as Guy Haines in the stage adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s novel.
Strangers on a Train has been adapted for the stage by Craig Warner and directed by Roxana Silbert.
Two strangers meet on a train.
Charles Bruno has an idea: the perfect crime. Two murders. Two strangers. No motive. No connection. No consequences.
Guy Haines dismisses it as a joke. But Bruno isn’t joking. As Bruno’s obsession spirals out of control, Guy finds himself trapped in a nightmare of guilt, manipulation and fear.
Dark, gripping and full of suspense, Strangers on a Train is a psychological thriller about obsession, manipulation and the devastating consequences of a chance encounter.
