Celebrated Australian playwright Joanna Murray-Smith re-teams with director Sarah Goodes on a brand-new take of author Patricia Highsmith’s so-bad-he’s-wicked-good anti-hero. Produced by Sydney Theatre Company, The Talented Mr. Ripley will transform the Playhouse into a Positano-like escape until November 23, direct from the world premiere in Sydney. Heartbreak High star Will McDonald will tackle the duplicitous title role, while a revelatory Roman Delo steps into Dickie’s well-heeled shoes. Andrew McFarlane plays Dickie’s unimpressed father, Claude Scott-Mitchell is snoopy Marge, Faisal Hamza is prickly Freddie, and the cast rounds out with Johnny Nasser as tenacious Inspector Rolverini.
