The perfect crime or the perfect nightmare?

When two strangers meet on a train, what begins as an ordinary conversation quickly takes a sinister turn. Charles Bruno has devised what he believes is the perfect crime: two strangers exchange murders, leaving no motive, no connection and no consequences.

Guy Haines dismisses the idea as a strange joke, but Bruno is deadly serious. As Bruno's fixation grows and events spiral out of control, Guy finds himself caught in a terrifying web of manipulation, guilt and fear.

Based on Patricia Highsmith's celebrated novel and inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's legendary film adaptation, this gripping new production brings one of the most famous psychological thrillers ever written to the stage.

From Bill Kenwright Ltd and directed by Roxana Silbert, Strangers On A Train delivers an unforgettable evening of suspense, mystery and nerve-shredding drama.
