STRANGERS ON A TRAIN
New Theatre, Cardiff
Tue 27-Sat 31 Mar
Whether you’re a film fanatic, bookworm or theatre buff, the stage production of Strangers On A Train will have you engrossed in the story as it makes its way to the stage of Cardiff’s New Theatre this month.
The production, directed by Anthony Banks, is based on the 1950 novel Strangers On A Train by Patricia Highsmith, which later inspired the nailbiting Alfred Hitchcock classic of the same name. A story laced with dark humour and spine-chilling revelations, it will have you perched on the edge of your seat throughout.
This thriller is the story of a chance encounter between two men. They meet in the dining car of a train travelling across America, with both men hiding dark, complicated personality traits. When Charles Bruno, a cold and calculating chancer strikes up a conversation with Guy Haines, a successful businessman with a nagging sense of jealousy, it leads to a dangerous plan developing. This plan sets a chain of events in motion, changing the lives of both men forever.
Strangers On A Train will have your brain working and heart racing as the story unfolds in front of your eyes. It’s a play with a little reminder: you never quite know who you are sat next to on the train.
