An exclusive stage adaptation of The Talented Mr Ripley is set to appear on Cheltenham's Everyman Theatre stage this September 2025, giving audiences the chance to see the new show before it embarks on a UK tour, ahead of a planned West End run.
On stage from Thursday 4 to Saturday 13 September 2025, see Patricia Highsmith’s iconic psychological novel adapted and directed by award-winner Mark Leipacher — with crowds transported to the sun-drenched glamour of 1950s Italy, surrounded by shimmering waters and whispered secrets.
The story follows a nobody — Tom Ripley — scraping by in New York, forging signatures, telling little white lies, until a chance encounter changes everything...
When a wealthy stranger offers him an all-expenses-paid trip to Italy to bring home his wayward son, Dickie Greenleaf, Tom can't say no.
As Tom is seduced by the life Dickie leads, fascination turns to obsession and as his grip tightens on Dickie’s world, the lines between truth and deception begin to blur.
What starts as an innocent opportunity spirals into a chilling game of lies, identity theft and murder — posing the question: how far would you go to become someone else?
