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
Review: In ‘Thérèse Raquin,’ Keira Knightley as a Baleful Adulteress
7 / 10
Happiness is never in the cards in this tale of murder and adultery. And that's as true for audiences at this Roundabout Theater Company production, directed by Evan Cabnet, as it is for our gal Thérèse...'Thérèse Raquin' takes the lesson of its plot's inexorability a bit too much to heart. The show is so determined to demonstrate how destiny never relaxes its stranglehold on its characters that any sparks of pleasure are snuffed out almost before they appear...Since Thérèse is a woman of few words, the focal point of both Ms. Knightley's appearance and performance is her eyes. Whether glowering in resentment at her husband and mother-in-law, or staring smolderingly at Laurent, Thérèse is the master of the basilisk stare...It's a disciplined and determined Expressionist performance. But it feels, well, unnatural in a work based on a pioneering novel of naturalism.
Keira Knightley’s Broadway Debut As ‘Thérèse Raquin’ Is A Lust Cause – Review
6 / 10
Keira Knightley...is making her Broadway debut in Thérèse Raquin, and not since Donna Reed donned spectacles and pulled her hair back in a tight bun as a spinster librarian in It's A Wonderful Life has so much effort gone into draining all the sex from a sexy star. It worked: Helen Edmundson's new adaptation of the 1867 Émile Zola novel (and, six years later, play) of illicit passion and its consequences is DOA, victim of its own literal dark-mindedness...there might have been some fun if there were a smidgen of electricity between Knightley and Ryan. That would have offset the pervading gloom of Beowulf Boritt's uncharacteristically dispiriting sets (there's momentary comic relief when lovers and husband set out in a rowboat on an upstage river) and the fussiness of Edmundson's script...There's a detachment between the stars I can only describe as fatal, no pun intended.
