1995, the Swiss Alps. Patricia Highsmith, the queen of the thriller, now ageing and ailing, hides away in her study, surrounded by her collection of books and antique weaponry, finding solace in her seclusion, her cats and cigarettes. Vitriolic, bigoted and alcoholic, her eccentricities are the stuff of legend. A polished young man turns up, sent by her New York publisher to persuade the great writer to pen one final instalment of her best-selling series featuring the master manipulator, Tom Ripley. But as day breaks over the mountains, it becomes clear that the charming stranger is set on a far more sinister mission.

Great show - the time just passed so quickly.

James Brookes

Slow to start, picked up in the second half. Very convincing setting and cast, great little theatre. Would recommend it.

Martin Barber

Gripping drama and superb performances.

Jennifer DiRollo

This was a superb piece of theatre. Both actors just got even better as the play progressed. I have always rated Phyllis Logan highly, but this part of the novelist, Patricia Highsmith, gave her an opportunity to really show her talent and turn herself into the character very convincingly. Both actors held the audience though the entire performance, and any interval would have ruined the whole piece. It was a most enjoyable performance and was thoroughly enjoyed by the audience.

An interesting, well written play that was very well acted by Phyllis Logan and Calum Finlay. I didn't guess the twist until Edward appeared in his third outfit of the play! Very entertaining and I wish that there were more Ripley books.

Quintin John Balsdon

I absolutely loved the play, set, script and especially the actors!!! Couldn't have been more blown away. Will watch this again.

Vincent Sharp

We were surprisingly impressed. Was funny as well as serious. I did however make the both of us come to different conclusions about what happened in the play. Just so you know, I was right and she was wrong.

Liliana Mifsud

Great play and great acting.

Nicholas Newton

Fascinating and challenging play given a taut production by Lucy Bailey. Phyllis Logan as Patricia Highsmith and Calum Findlay are both excellent in a play badly served by the criticial mauling of the London critics.

Marcus Hope

An engagingly dark story, but the Highsmith character did not come across as well as it should. Some wooden acting.

Lynne

the production were excellent . I enjoyed the performances from both actors.

Philippa sheraton
