THE TALENTED MR RIPLEY is a The Faction production, adapted and directed by Mark Leipacher.
"I never wanted to murder anyone. It was necessary."
Step into a world of deception, desire, and deadly ambition.
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.
Set against the sun-drenched backdrop of 1950s Italy, this gripping stage adaptation of THE TALENTED MR RIPLEY brings Patricia Highsmith’s iconic novel to life in a thrilling new production. With razor-sharp dialogue, psychological intensity, and a chillingly charismatic antihero, this is Ripley as you’ve never seen him before.
