Lucinda Coxon, the writer behind 2015 film The Danish Girl, re-works Harriet Lane's gripping debut novel for the stage. Alys Always is a story of two worlds colliding, which climbed best-sellers lists back in 2012.
It tells the story of subeditor Frances, whose nondescript life working on the book pages of a Sunday newspaper is thrown into disarray when she drives past a car accident and tends to the gravely injured driver, Alys Kyte. When the Kyte family get in touch to express their gratitude, Frances is sucked into a glamorous world of fame, talent and prestige.
Once Frances gets a glimpe of the high life, she will go to any length to become part of this world. Head of the Bridge Theatre Nicholas Hytner will direct the stage version of the thriller in early 2019.
