HSC Announces Cast of SWITZERLAND by Joanna Murray

SWITZERLAND, the New York premiere by celebrated Australian playwright Joanna Murray-Smith, directed by Dan Foster. Featured in the cast are Peggy J. Scott as Patricia Highsmith, the noted writer of "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and "Strangers on a Train" and Daniel Petzold as the young man sent to Switzerland to woo her back to writing.

It's 1995 in the Swiss Alps and Ms. Highsmith is visited by a genial young man from her New York publisher, sent to convince her to write the final installment of her best-selling Mr. Ripley series. What first appears to be a standard cat-and-mouse game of wit and wiles, soon becomes a dance to the death. Who is the cat and who is the mouse? And... who will make it out of Switzerland alive?
