Patricia Highsmith's psychological thriller The Talented Mr Ripley was published 70 years ago, but remains fascinating due to her brilliant writing, but also movie and Netflix versions that have kept the story alive. This excellent new stage adaptation, written and directed by Mark Leipacher, strips back the story and takes us to the dark heart of Highsmith's most famous character.
The first ever UK and International tour of Patricia Highsmith's iconic thriller THE TALENTED MR RIPLEY extends into 2026 ahead of a planned West End transfer.
Talented by name, talented by nature: Ed McVey is a perfectly cast Mr Ripley, deftly juggling paranoia, wild optimism, self-pity and bouts of violence, while never losing either his sense of humour or the audience's tolerance. It's a demanding role requiring seemingly endless reams of dialogue as Ripley narrates his every thought, and McVey navigates it with style and charisma.
Producers have announced the full cast for the first UK tour of The Talented Mr Ripley, opening at the Everyman Theatre, Cheltenham, on September 4, 2025, with an official opening night on September 10.
