DAPHNE Du Maurier’s supernatural thriller Don’t Look Now is coming to The Haymarket for five days, from February 24.

The play stars Peter Amory, formerly Emmerdale’s Chris Tate, Nicola Bryant, who played Dr Who’s assistant Peri, and film and television actress Shirley Anne Field.

Directed by Ian Dickens, the story follows John and Laura, who visit Venice to try and overcome the grief of losing their young daughter.

But things begin to go wrong when they meet two sisters, one of whom claims to have psychic visions of their dead child.

Their influence on Laura is alarming to John, who begins to question his own sanity and the play spirals towards a dramatic conclusion.

Tickets for Du Maurier’s classic suspense thriller are priced from £16.50 (£14.50 concessions), and matinee performance tickets are under £12.
