A PSYCHOLOGICAL thriller is making its stage debut in a bold new adaptation.
The world premiere stage production of Single White Female will run at the Theatre Royal, Bath from May 19 to 23 , as part of a UK and Ireland tour.
The play, adapted by author, journalist and broadcaster Rebecca Reid, is based on the 1992 Columbia Pictures film and the best-selling novel by John Lutz.
It stars Kym Marsh as Hedy and Lisa Faulkner as Allie.
Ms Marsh said: "I am so excited to be bringing this brilliant new play to theatres across England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland.
"I remember being totally gripped by the movie when I first saw it in the cinema and could never have imagined back then that I’d be starring in the world premiere of it live on stage.
"Get ready to be thrilled, shocked and entertained and watch out for those stiletto heels!”
Ms Faulkner returns to the stage after 21 years.
She said: "I’m delighted to be returning to the stage playing opposite the utterly fantastic Kym Marsh.
"I got chills watching Single White Female in the cinema back in 1992 so it’s a real thrill to be part of this bold new production."
The cast also includes Andro as Graham, Jonny McGarrity as Sam, and Amy Snudden as Bella, with understudies Francesca McBride (Bella), Patrick McHugh (Graham and Sam), and Anna Ruben (Hedy and Allie).
The story follows Allie, a recently divorced mother and tech entrepreneur, who takes in a lodger to help make ends meet.
What begins as a promising arrangement soon takes a dark turn, blurring boundaries and leading to unexpected consequences.
Full of dark humour and sharp and suspenseful storytelling, this new play updates the original story to the age of social media and all that it brings, in a gripping tale of ambition, obsession, and the desperate need for belonging in an isolated world.
The production is directed by Gordon Greenberg and features set and costume design by Morgan Large, lighting by Jason Taylor, and sound and composition by Max Pappenheim.
Tickets are available now via the Theatre Royal Bath website.
