The Talented Mr Ripley tour adds extra dates

The touring stage adaptation of The Talented Mr Ripley has revealed extra venues and dates.

Patricia Highsmith’s novel, well known thanks to the hit 2000 film adaptation starring Matt Damon, Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow, and more recently through a 2024 Netflix series with Andrew Scott, follows Tom Ripley, a man who becomes dangerously entangled in a mission involving a wealthy acquaintance from Italy.

Coinciding with the 70th anniversary of the book, the production premiered earlier this year and received a favourable review by our WhatsOnStage critic.

Currently starring in the tour are Ed McVey and Maisie Smith, taking on the roles of Ripley and Marge, respectively, with Bruce Herbelin-Earle as Dickie Greenleaf.

It has been confirmed that the trio will stay in their roles in the new dates into 2026.

They are joined by Christopher Bianchi as Herbert Greenleaf/Roverini, Cary Crankson as Freddie Miles/Alvin McCarron, Leda as Cleo/Dottie and Jason Eddy as Peter/Fausto. The cast is completed by Lachlan McCall, Hollie Sullivan and Aldous Ciokajlo-Squire.

The play is a Faction production, adapted and directed by Mark Leipacher. Producers Jack Maple and Thomas Hopkins are behind the tour, with design by Holly Piggott, associate set and costume design by Ellen Farrell, lighting design by Zeynep Kepekli, sound design by Max Pappenheim, movement direction by Sarita Piotroswki, wigs, hair and make up designed by Craig Forrest-Thomas, fight and intimacy direction by Haruka Kuroda and casting by Marc Frankum.

The show will visit Bristol, Richmond, and Salford in the remainder of 2025.

It will start the new year in York, before travelling to Aylesbury, Aberdeen, Guildford, Windsor, Poole, Eastbourne, Colchester, Coventry, Wolverhampton, and Salisbury.

Further tour dates are to be confirmed, and a West End transfer is being planned.
