The Talented Mr Ripley

Here's a chance to win tickets to go and see The Talented Mr Ripley when it comes to Aylesbury's Waterside Theatre in January.

Tom Ripley is a nobody—scraping by in New York, forging signatures, telling little white lies—until a chance encounter changes everything. When a wealthy stranger offers him an all-expenses-paid trip to Italy to bring home his wayward son, Dickie Greenleaf, Tom leaps at the opportunity.

But in the sun-drenched glamour of 1950s Italy, surrounded by shimmering waters and whispered secrets, Tom is seduced by the life Dickie leads—the freedom, the wealth, the effortless charm. Fascination turns to obsession, and as his grip tightens on Dickie’s world, the lines between truth and deception begin to blur. What starts as an innocent opportunity spirals into a chilling game of lies, identity theft, and murder.

The ten-strong ensemble cast is led by Ed McVey as Tom Ripley. Ed was one of the stars of The Crown. Bruce Herbelin-Earle from Netflix’s Free Rein is Dickie Greenleaf, and EastEnders regular and Strictly Come Dancing finalist Maisie Smith stars as Marge Sherwood. The show is at the Aylesbury Waterside Theatre from 26th - 31st January, 2026.
