Switzerland

Joanna Murray-Smith's tightly woven thriller Switzerland transfers to the West End following its successful run at Theatre Royal Bath. Tracing an imagined meeting between novelist Patricia Highsmith and a mysterious visitor to her lonely Swiss Alpine abode, this tense piece pays homage to Highsmith's famous novels which are undoubtedly linchpins of the genre. Phyllis Logan and Calum Finlay star with direction from Lucy Bailey. The play won Best New Australian Work at the Sydney Theatre Awards. Catch this taut masterpiece at Ambassadors Theatre from November 2018.
