The Talented Mr. Ripley at Bristol Old Vic

King Street, Bristol, BS1 4ED
The Talented Mr. Ripley

About

Step into a world of deception, desire, and deadly ambition.

Tom Ripley is a nobody—scraping by in New York, forging signatures, telling little white lies—until a chance encounter changes everything. When a wealthy stranger offers him an all-expenses-paid trip to Italy to bring home his wayward son, Dickie Greenleaf, Tom leaps at the opportunity.

This electrifying new stage adaptation of The Talented Mr. Ripley brings Patricia Highsmith’s iconic psychological thriller to life like never before. With razor-sharp dialogue, simmering tension, and a dangerously charismatic antihero, this gripping production will pull you into Ripley’s intoxicating world—where nothing is quite as it seems.

The first ever UK tour of the stage adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s iconic, gripping novel comes to Bristol Old Vic in November, marking the 70th anniversary of the novel’s publication.

The novel was also the source material for the 2000 Oscar nominated film starring Matt Damon, Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow and the 2024 Netflix adaptation starring Andrew Scott, Johnny Flynn and Dakota Fanning.
