First ever UK tour of The Talented Mr Ripley

Following rave reviews and sold-out performances across the UK in 2025, the critically acclaimed first-ever UK and international tour of The Talented Mr Ripley is back!

Ed McVey (The Crown, Netflix), Maisie Smith (Eastenders, BBC) and Bruce Herbelin-Earle (Free Reign, Netflix) will star in the roles of ‘Tom Ripley’, ‘Marge Sherwood’ and ‘Dickie Greenleaf’ respectively.

Aberdeen Performing Arts Chief Executive Sharon Burgess said: “When it comes to anti-heroes, Tom Ripley is surely one of the most infamous, leading this phsychological thriller through twists and turns that will draw you in right from the start and keep you on the edge of your seat. Sure to be a highly entertaining night out!”

Step into a world of deception, desire, and deadly ambition. Tom Ripley is a nobody – until he’s offered an unexpected opportunity: travel to Italy and bring home the wealthy and carefree Dickie Greenleaf. But as Tom is drawn into Dickie’s glittering world of privilege, his obsession takes a dark turn. What begins as an innocent invitation spirals into a web of lies, identity theft, and murder.

Set against the sun-drenched backdrop of 1950s Italy, this gripping stage adaptation of The Talented Mr. Ripley brings Patricia Highsmith’s iconic novel to life in a thrilling new production. With razor-sharp dialogue, psychological intensity, and a chillingly charismatic antihero, this is Ripley as you’ve never seen him before.

2025 marked the 70th anniversary of Patricia Highsmith’s gripping novel, the source material for the 2000 Oscar nominated film starring Matt Damon, Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow, the 2024 Netflix adaptation starring Andrew Scott and the stage adaptation.
