Actor, TV presenter and chef Lisa Faulkner will star in the world premiere stage production of Single White Female – based on the iconic 90s psychological thriller – which is set to embark on a major UK and Ireland theatre tour from January 2026.
Lisa Faulkner (Missing You, The Girl Before, Holby City) will return to the stage for the first time in 21 years, starring alongside actor and singer Kym Marsh, in this bold and modern reimagining of the hit 1992 movie from Columbia Pictures and bestselling book by John Lutz, that thrilled audiences worldwide and led a generation to fear a stiletto heel!
The brand-new stage play, adapted by author, journalist and broadcaster Rebecca Reid, opens on 9 January at Brighton’s Theatre Royal before visiting Nottingham, Cardiff, York, Manchester, Blackpool, Sheffield, Woking, Cambridge, Cheltenham, Dublin, Peterborough, Richmond, Milton Keynes, Liverpool, Birmingham, Bradford, Bath, Stoke-on-Trent, Glasgow, and Malvern. Further dates and venues are to be announced.
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 with chilling consequences.
Lisa Faulkner said: “I’m hugely excited to be returning to the stage playing opposite the utterly fantastic Kym Marsh. I remember getting chills watching Single White Female in the cinema back in 1992 so it’s a real thrill to be part of this bold new production. I cannot wait to bring this fascinating story to life and keep audiences around the UK on the edge of their seats!"
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.
Directed by Gordon Greenberg and from the producer of the hit stage adaptation of The Girl on the Train, Single White Female will captivate, shock, and explore just how far we’ll go to find – and keep – a family together.
