Switzerland at Circa Theatre

It’s 1995 in the Swiss Alpes where Patricia Highsmith lives, refusing to contact her increasingly desperate publishers who are urging her to write the final instalment of her best-selling Mr Ripley series.

But when a mysterious international visitor barges into her home unannounced, will her love of fictional murders become a dangerous reality? What appears first to be a standard cat-and-mouse game of wit and wiles, soon becomes a dance to the death. Who is the cat and who is the mouse? And … who will make it out of Switzerland alive?

Catherine Downes and Simon Leary star in this chilling and sometimes hilarious two-hander.
