Alys, Always is a gripping modern thriller, adapted by Lucinda Coxon from the bestselling novel by Harriet Lane.

With shades of Hitchcock, The Talented Mr Ripley and Dear Evan Hansen, it was first staged at the Bridge Theatre in London in 2019 starring Joanne Froggatt and Robert Glenister.

It tells the story of Frances, a lowly sub-editor and general dogsbody on the books desk of a Sunday newspaper. She’s quiet and capable, but nobody takes much notice: her face is pressed to the window, on the outside looking in.

One evening, driving home in the rain after visiting her parents, she comes across an overturned car crumpled on the side of the road. It’s a twist of fate which presents her with an opening into the heart of the family of a famous novelist, and into the world on the other side of the window.

How far is she prepared to go? And how many lies will she tell to stay there?
