"It’s a thrilling, chilling and captivating story that I know audiences will love. I’m also chuffed to be working with Rachel Wagstaff and Loveday Ingram again - the three of us loved working on The Girl On The Train together last year and are very happy to be reunited.”
The adaptation is written by Rachel Wagstaff, under the direction of Loveday Ingram previously wowed audiences with their stage adaptation of The Girl on the Train in 2025.

The plot centres around Christine, who suffers from amnesia, causing her to lose her memory every night when she goes to sleep.
She wakes up every morning remembering nothing from the past 20 years of her life, not even her husband.
As she attempts to reconstruct her life, startling and frightening truths begin to come to light, causing her to question everything around her.
Touching upon memory, identity, and trust, the stage adaptation promises to deliver a thriller filled with "suspense, shocking revelations, and edge-of-your-seat twists".
