Directed by Anthony Banks (Gaslight), the cast features John Middleton (Emmerdale), Christopher Harper (Coronation Street), Jack Ashton (Call the Midwife) and Hannah Tointon (Hollyoaks).

Written by Craig Warner, Strangers On A Train is adapted from Patricia Highsmith's 1950 thriller, and was famously adapted for film by Alfred Hitchcock, starring Farley Granger and Robert Walker as the titular strangers who meet on a train and plot to 'swap' murders.

Strangers on a Train opens at Theatre Royal Brighton on 5 January 2018 and then tours to Sheffield, Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester, Woking, Richmond, Cambridge, York, Aylesbury and Cardiff.
