In this tale of love, lust, betrayal, and guilt, based upon the novel by Emile Zola, Therese has made peace with her loveless marriage to a weak man when her world is turned upside down by Laurent walking through the door. Unable to ignore their passion, the pair sets off on a violent path that may have far worse consequences for the perpetrators than for the victims.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Therese Raquin

'Thérèse Raquin' review: Keira Knightley washes up in soggy Broadway drama
2 / 10

There's enough real water in 'Thérèse Raquin' to float a row boat, but not a drop of sexual tension. Without high heat and funky musk, this wannabe erotic thriller starring Keira Knightley is bloodless and all wet. Too bad. It makes for a dispiriting Broadway debut for Knightley...she never finds traction in this choppy adaptation. Helen Edmundson's script is filled with microscenes that start and stop without impact...Director Evan Cabnet relies on disembodied voices and eerie sounds effects to show the pair's haunted minds. Just in time for Halloween, 'Thérèse Raquin' and the A-list actress playing her have found themselves stranded in a corny spookhouse. Scary.

Keira Knightley dazzles in thrilling 'Therese Raquin' on Broadway
9 / 10

The screws turn and turn and then turn some more in 'Thérèse Raquin,' a terrifically nerve-wracking, beautifully mounted new drama that also marks Oscar-nominated actress Keira Knightley's Broadway debut...this story of illicit love, murder and madness -- directed with intensity and great invention by Evan Cabnet -- turns out to be one of the best plays on Broadway this year...Edmundson and Cabnet take a fresh, psychologically acute approach, using long silences and repeatedly isolating Thérèse onstage in order to draw us deeper and deeper into the woman's fractured mindset. Knightley's performance, too, is extraordinary; she employs unnerving, almost animalistic stares and a fierce-jaw to portray both Thérèse's anguish and her boundless capacity for deceit.
