THE famous Daphne Du Maurier thriller Don’t Look Now, which was made into a memorable 1973 film, comes to the stage in a production starring Peter Amory of Emmerdale and former Doctor Who assistant Nicola Bryant.

Following the death of their young daughter, John and Laura visit Venice to try and escape their grief. But when the couple meet two aged sisters, one of whom claims to have psychic visions of the dead girl, strange things start to happen.

John finds their influence on Laura unsettling and suspects them of deceit while beginning to question his own sanity and that of his wife who seems to be completely under their command. Their obsession and fear reach a dramatic conclusion in this supernatural thriller.

Don’t Look Now can be seen at the Lyceum Theatre in Crewe. Visit www.lyceumtheatre.net or ring 01270 537333 for details.
