It has been announced that the world premiere stage production of Single White Female – based on the iconic 90s psychological thriller – will embark on a major UK & Ireland tour from January 2026, starring multi-talented actor and singer Kym Marsh.
This brand-new stage play, written by author, journalist and broadcaster Rebecca Reid, is a bold and modern reimagining of the hit 1992 movie from Columbia Pictures and bestselling book by John Lutz, that thrilled audiences around the world and led a generation to fear a stiletto heel!
Opening on 9 January 2026 at Theatre Royal Brighton, the show then embarks on a tour across the UK and Ireland until 13 June.
Full casting is to be announced.
Full of dark humour and sharp and suspenseful storytelling, this new play updates the original story to the age of social media and all that it brings, in a gripping tale of ambition, obsession, and the desperate need for belonging in an isolated world.
Allie is a recently divorced mum, balancing being a single parent with the launch of her tech start up. When she decides to advertise for a lodger to help make ends meet, the delightful Hedy offers her a lifeline. But as their lives intertwine, boundaries blur and a seemingly perfect arrangement begins to unravel.
Kym Marsh said: “I am so excited to be bringing this brilliant, brand new and thrilling play to theatres across England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. I remember being totally gripped by the movie when I first saw it in the cinema and could never have imagined back then that I’d be starring in the world premiere of its life on stage. Get ready to be thrilled, shocked and entertained and watch out for those stiletto heels!”
Directed by Gordon Greenberg, with design by Morgan Large, lighting by Jason Taylor, and sound by Max Pappenheim, Single White Female will captivate, shock, and explore just how far we’ll go to find - and keep - family together.
