Before I Go to Sleep

Before I Go to Sleep comes to the Storyhouse from Tuesday 20 to Saturday 24 April 2027, playing in the Main Theatre. It's the stage adaptation of S.J. Watson's international bestselling novel, which you might remember as the film starring Nicole Kidman and Colin Firth. This is the world stage premiere, and it's being staged by Rachel Wagstaff, with the adaptation signed by Giovanna Fletcher, the actor, author and podcaster who also stars in it.

Fletcher plays Christine, and she's joined on stage by Tom Chambers. The story is a psychological thriller that looks at memory, identity and trust: Christine wakes up every night remembering nothing from the last twenty years of her life, not even the husband lying next to her, as hidden and terrifying truths begin to emerge. It's billed as tense and fast-paced, and it's coming from the same team behind the stage adaptation of The Girl on the Train. The run in Chester is part of a UK and Ireland tour that sets out in January 2027, so this is one of its first stops.

There are six performances over the five days. Tuesday 20 April starts at 7:30pm. Wednesday 21 April has a 2:30pm BSL performance and a 7:30pm show. Thursday 22 and Friday 23 are both 7:30pm. Saturday 24 has a 2:30pm audio described performance and a 7:30pm show. Each run about 2 hours 20 minutes, including an interval. It's rated PG 15+.

Tickets are £25.80 to £45.60 for members and £28.50 to £50.50 for non-members.
