Acclaimed actor, author and podcaster Giovanna Fletcher stars in the world stage premiere of Before I Go To Sleep, based on the international bestselling novel by S J Watson, that became a hit film starring Nicole Kidman and Colin Firth.
Christine appears to have an idyllic life — with one terrible exception. Every night, when she goes to sleep, she loses her memory. Every morning she wakes up remembering nothing from the last 20 years of her life — not even the loving husband lying next to her. As she desperately tries to piece her life back together, hidden and terrifying truths begin to emerge — forcing her to question everything and everyone around her.
From the team behind the hit stage tour of The Girl on the Train, this tense, fast-paced psychological thriller will keep you gripped until its shocking climax.
