Kym Marsh to headline new stage thriller FATAL ATTRACTION

Casting has been announced for a new stage production of Fatal Attraction, including Kym Marsh* (Coronation Street) in the iconic role of Alex Forrest, Oliver Farnworth (Coronation Street) as her lover Dan Gallagher and Susie Amy (Footballers’ Wives) as his wife, Beth.

The cast will also include John Macaulay as Jimmy, Troy Glasgow as O’Rourke and Emma Laird Craig as understudy Beth/Alex.

Fatal Attraction is the latest grip-the-edge-of-your-seat thriller, written by James Dearden who based the stage play on his Oscar-nominated screenplay. This brand-new production is directed by Loveday Ingram and features set and costume design by Morgan Large, lighting by Jack Knowles, sound by Carolyn Downing, and composition by Paul Englishby.

Director Loveday Ingram said: “I am excited to be working on this brilliant new stage adaptation of the iconic film Fatal Attraction. It’s a gripping, fast-paced psychological thriller that deals with complicated issues of consent, trust and responsibility. The play asks some difficult questions. Audiences today will no doubt respond differently to the ‘bunny boiler’ character Alex, made famous by Glen Close, and the debate it ignites today will be very different from 1988 as our awareness of mental health has progressed significantly. We have an exceptional cast, led by Kym Marsh, together with a first-class creative team, and set against the glamour and romance of Manhattan, the show promises to provide an evening of passion and debate.”

Tipped to be provocative and gripping in equal measures, Fatal Attraction is a tale of seduction and suspense that asks the question; what happens when desire becomes deadly?
