‘The Lady Vanishes’
A Simplon express train travelling from Instanbul to Venice stops at a remote region of the Alps and a mixed group of travellers board the train. One of these travellers, a wealthy young woman – Iris Carr – befriends elderly Miss Froy. But then, after lunch, Iris wakes to find Miss Froy has disappeared. Mysteriously, the other passengers deny Miss Froy ever existed.
What secrets are the sinister Doctor, the fierce Baroness, the so-called honeymoon couple, the vicar and his wife and the garrulous spinster twins hiding?
The play is based on a novel, 'The Wheel Spins', written by Ethel Lina White in 1936 which was adapted in 1938 by Alfred Hitchcock as the film 'The Lady Vanishes'. This stage play was adapted in 2018 by Derek Webb from the original 1936 book.
