Daphne du Maurier’s My Cousin Rachel was adapted for the Gate by acclaimed Irish author Joseph O’Connor (Ghost Light, Star of the Sea) and will once again star Tony Award Nominee Hannah Yelland as Rachel. My Cousin Rachel opens at the Gate on Thursday 15th November and will be directed by Toby Frow.
Based on Daphne du Maurier’s gothic masterpiece of suspicion and mistrust, My Cousin Rachel follows the struggle of Philip Ashley, Ambrose’s young ward, to come to terms with his guardian's fate and find his own place in the world. A feverish story of secrets, deceptions and forbidden longings, My Cousin Rachel electrified readers on publication in 1951. An international bestseller, it was filmed the following year, introducing a young Richard Burton as Philip. This darkly spellbinding classic promises a tale of unforgettable atmosphere in which nothing is ever as it seems.
The Gate is delighted to welcome back the stellar cast under the direction of Toby Frow. Cast includes: Stephen Brennan, John Cronin, Bosco Hogan, Amy Molloy, Bryan Murray, Marty Rea and Hannah Yelland.
Set and Costume Design by Francis O’Connor. Lighting Design by Mark Jonathan. Music and Sound Design Denis Clohessy.
My Cousin Rachel opens at the Gate Theatre on Thursday 15th November with a low price preview on Wednesday 14th November, Monday to Saturday at 7.30pm with Saturday matinees at 2.30pm on selected dates.
