From playwriting icon Joanna Murray-Smith comes this ravishing adaptation of the twentieth century’s most glamorous thriller. Murray-Smith reunites with director Sarah Goodes to masterfully transform this seductive page-turner into an electrifying, world-premiere stage experience.
Will McDonald (Heartbreak High) plays Tom Ripley, an orphan and a striver, barely scraping by in 1950s New York. But beneath his woebegone exterior, Tom cultivates certain talents that set him apart: an extraordinary capacity for mimicry and deception.
For 70 years Tom Ripley has captivated readers and cinephiles alike. Now, literature’s most alluring confidence man is brought to life before our eyes in the hands of one of our great playwrights and most brilliant directors. Also featuring Faisal Hamza, Andrew McFarlane, Johnny Nasser and Claude Scott-Mitchell, The Talented Mr. Ripley promises tension, passion and spectacular suspense.
2hr. No interval.
