The cast has been revealed for a major new revival of Little Shop of Horrors. EastEnders legend and Strictly Come Dancing Finalist Maisie Smith will take to the stage in her first leading musical theatre role, plus more!
Following a highly successful run in 2025, THE TALENTED MR RIPLEY will resume its tour in January 2026, offering audiences another chance to experience this acclaimed production.
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.
It’s been 70 years since the publication of Patricia Highsmith’s celebrated thriller, and the introduction of one of literature’s greatest creations: Tom Ripley. He’s appeared in four further novels, several films, most famously the Oscar-nominated one by Anthony Minghella, and a recent TV series on Netflix starring Andrew Scott. This year, the numerous articles in the media about the character continue – what makes him so consistently compelling?
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.
