Photo Flash: Sneak Peek at Kneehigh Theatre's REBECCA, Coming to The Marlowe

Internationally-acclaimed Kneehigh Theatre is bringing a spellbinding new production of Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca to Canterbury later this month (March). Scroll down for a sneak peek at the cast in action!

Rebecca is timeless: the book is beloved by generations and the iconic Alfred Hitchcock Oscar-winning film, a classic. Following the mysterious death of his first wife, Maxim de Winter returns to Manderley with his new young bride. Surrounded by memories of the glamorous Rebecca, the new Mrs De Winter is consumed by jealousy. She sets out to uncover the secrets of the house and a past fiercely guarded by the sinister housekeeper Mrs Danvers. All is not what it seems in Manderley...

The cast is led by Tristan Sturrock as Maxim de Winter, Emily Raymond as Mrs Danvers with Richard Clews, Katy Owen, Ewan Wardrop, Andy Williams, Lizzie Winkler, and introducing Imogen Sage as Mrs de Winter.

Sturrock originated the roles of Alec in Brief Encounter and Tristan in Tristan And Yseult and has gone on to play both in the West End and across the UK, America and Australia. His one-man show Mayday Mayday has played successful seasons in Edinburgh and New York.

They have created productions with the National Theatre and the Royal Shakespeare Company and their international hits include Tristan And Yseult and Brief Encounter. Talking about Tristan And Yseult, The Guardian said: "if this show doesn't make you fall in love with the theatre, there's no potion on Earth that can help you".
