"...I tell you what: I’ll kill her for you if you kill my father for me...We swap murders, then nobody could find us..."
During a chance encounter on a train travelling across America, two men (Guy Haines and Charles Bruno) bond over how their future plans are each stymied by one person in their lives: Bruno by his controlling father, and Haines by his unfaithful wife Miriam. Charismatic psychopath Bruno suggests the perfect solution: they swap murders and no-one will ever be able to connect them with the deed.
Haines laughs this off as a joke, unfortunately Bruno is deadly serious...This play by Craig Warner is based on the acclaimed novel by Patricia Highsmith, which inspired the iconic Hitchcock film. A tense, psychological thriller, it will keep you guessing until the nail-biting finale.
