The Talented Mr Ripley – Bristol Old Vic
November 3, 2025 - November 8, 2025
The first major stage adaptation of The Talented Mr Ripley, comes to Bristol Old Vic this November, ahead of a London transfer.
The production comes from theatre company The Faction.
It’s adapted and directed by Mark Leipacher and just in time for this year’s 70th anniversary of Patricia Highsmith’s novel.
Tom Ripley is a nobody – until he’s offered an unexpected opportunity: travel to Italy and bring home the wealthy and carefree Dickie Greenleaf. But as Tom is drawn into Dickie’s glittering world of privilege, his obsession takes a dark turn. What begins as an innocent invitation spirals into a web of lies, identity theft, and murder.
