The first ever UK and International tour of The Talented Mr Ripley has arrived in Wolverhampton with stars Ed McVey, Bruce Herbelin-Earle and Maisie Smith being photographed at the Grand Theatre.
The show, which runs until Saturday 25 April has been described as a “thrilling adaptation” with “ingenious stories and brilliantly multi-faceted characters”.
The tour is celebrating the 70th anniversary of Patricia Highsmith’s gripping novel, the source material for the 2000 Oscar nominated film starring Matt Damon, Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow, the 2024 Netflix adaptation starring Andrew Scott and the stage adaptation.
Deputy Head of Marketing and Communications at Wolverhampton Grand Theatre, Scott Bird said: “The Talented Mr. Ripley is the dramatic highlight of our Spring programme and is the perfect example of the Grand’s commitment to showcasing top-quality drama.
"Following our press night, we received a string of five-star reviews, and we are looking forward to a great week with Ed, Bruce, Maisie and the company.”
Set against the sun-drenched backdrop of 1950s Italy, this gripping stage adaptation takes you into a world of deception, desire, and deadly ambition. Tom Ripley is a nobody until he’s offered an unexpected opportunity - travel to Italy and bring home the wealthy and carefree Dickie Greenleaf. But as Tom is drawn into Dickie’s glittering world of privilege, his obsession takes a dark turn. What begins as an innocent invitation spirals into a web of lies, identity theft, and murder.
Tickets for The Talented Mr Ripley are on sale at grandtheatre.co.uk.
