Based on the novel by Patricia Highsmith and inspired by Hitchcock’s iconic film, Strangers on a Train arrives on stage in a thrilling new production directed by Roxana Silbert.

Two strangers meet on a train.

Charles Bruno has an idea: the perfect crime. Two murders. Two strangers. No motive. No connection. No consequences.

Guy Haines dismisses it as a joke. But Bruno isn’t joking.

As Bruno’s obsession spirals out of control, Guy finds himself trapped in a nightmare of guilt, manipulation and fear.

Dark, gripping and full of suspense, Strangers on a Train is a psychological thriller about obsession, manipulation and the devastating consequences of a chance encounter.
