Love From a Stranger

Theatre Royal, Newcastle

This new production by Lucy Bailey re-imagines an Agatha Christie thriller – 1924 short story Philomel Cottage. It tells of a whirlwind romance involving a handsome, charming stranger who sweeps central character Cecily Harrington off her feet. But she doesn’t know the truth about her new boyfriend. Described as “electric with suspense” with “a biting twist in its tail”, the thriller is running at the Newcastle theatre until Saturday. See www.theatreroyal.co.uk
