Switzerland

'Switzerland' by Joanna Murray-Smith, directed by Zlatina Kostova, set by Vladimir Lutzkanov, costumes by Venelin Shurelov, music by Elitsa Georgieva, with Stanka Kalcheva and Boyan Arsov. Patricia Highsmith's novels are the kind you read in one sitting — and get hooked on. Our production meets Patricia Highsmith as she lives as a recluse in Switzerland, with no intention of publishing more novels. A mysterious young editor arrives at her home, sent by her publishers to convince her to write one more story about the charismatic criminal Tom Ripley. What follows is unexpected, chilling and astonishing... The play is staged in Bulgaria for the first time. Premiere: 4 February 2025. Running time: 90 min.
