The
Royalty theatre will continue their 2018/19 season with an adaptation of Daphne
du Maurier’s thriller My Cousin Rachel.
Diana
Morgan’s adaptation of the Victorian suspense drama, set in the Cornish
countryside, concerns Philip Ashley, a young gentleman who has just inherited
his late cousin Ambrose’s estate and a valuable collection of jewels.
After Ambrose’s widow Rachel arrives from Italy, having been left nothing by
Ambrose, Philip begins to develop affection for her. Not all are convinced
that Rachel has innocent motives for coming to England – especially when Philip
begins to show signs of a similar sickness to that which killed Ambrose.
Director
John Appleton says “It’s a story that’s perfect for the stage, full of intrigue
and some great characters. It melds the suspense of Agatha Christie with
some grit and realism - something I think that our audiences will enjoy from
start to finish.”
The
show runs from 29th October to 3rd November, and stars
James Errington as Philip, Olivia Bowern as Rachel and Royalty newcomers Peter
Wilson and Stephanie Cubello as Nick and Louise Kendall.
Tickets are £8/£6.50 in advance, and can be booked via www.ticketsource.co.uk/royaltytheatre or on 0333 666 3366 (booking fee applies).
Tickets purchased on the door are £9/£7.50
