A psychological thriller based on a bestselling novel is coming to the stage in Cornwall.
The world premiere tour of Before I Go To Sleep, adapted from S J Watson’s internationally bestselling novel, will visit more than 20 theatres across the UK and Ireland, including Truro’s Hall for Cornwall from February 9 to 13, 2027.
The stage production features Giovanna Fletcher in the lead role of Christine.
She said: "I read the international bestselling novel Before I Go To Sleep and was hooked, so I can’t wait to take this play to the stage in 2027 on our UK and Ireland tour.
"It’s a thrilling, chilling and captivating story that I know audiences will love.
"I’m also chuffed to be working with Rachel Wagstaff and Loveday Ingram again — the three of us loved working on The Girl On The Train together last year and are very happy to be reunited."
The adaptation is written by Rachel Wagstaff and directed by Loveday Ingram, the creative duo behind the stage version of The Girl on the Train.
The story follows Christine, who wakes up every morning with no memory of the past 20 years.
Her only link to her life is a husband she doesn’t remember, and as she tries to reconnect the pieces of her lost years, disturbing truths begin to surface.
The author of the original novel, S J Watson, said: "Before I Go To Sleep has lived many lives I never expected — and this feels like one of the most exciting yet.
"I can't think of a better team to bring Christine's story to the stage."
Josh Andrews produces the play, with lighting design by Tony nominee Jason Taylor.
Further casting details are expected to be announced in the coming months.
The tour will begin at Richmond Theatre in January 2027 and run through to the end of June, stopping at major theatres across the UK and Ireland, including Bath Theatre Royal and Chichester Festival Theatre.
Tickets for the Truro performances at Hall for Cornwall go on sale on July 6.
