Play based on best-selling novel coming to area next week
A STAGE production of The Girl on The Train is set to visit Bath.
The play will come to the Theatre Royal from Tuesday (February 18) to Saturday, February 22.
The show will star Giovanna Fletcher as Rachel Watson and Jason Merrells as Tom Watson.
The thriller is based on the internationally acclaimed best-selling novel by Paula Hawkins.
It has been adapted by Rachel Wagstaff and Duncan Abel.
Fletcher said: "I am delighted to be leading the company of The Girl On The Train as Rachel Watson at venues across the UK.
"Paula Hawkins' psychological thriller has gripped millions of readers worldwide with its Hitchcockian tale of suspense and mystery.
"What better place than the theatre to take us through its voyeuristic window and deep into Rachel's story?"
The novel has sold more than 20 million copies and inspired a film starring Emily Blunt.
Merrells is known for his roles in TV shows including Happy Valley, Agatha Raisin, and Emmerdale.
The cast also includes Daniel Burke as Kamal Abdic, Zena Carswell as Anna Watson, Samuel Collings as Scott Hipwell, Natalie Dunne as Megan Hipwell, and Paul McEwan as DI Gaskill.
