World premiere stage production of the psychological thriller 'Before I Go To Sleep', adapted from S.J. Watson's novel, with Giovanna Fletcher and Tom Chambers.
Before I Go To Sleep is coming to Milton Keynes Theatre from 9 to 13 March 2027, as part of a UK and Ireland tour that sets out in January. 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. The story follows Christine Lucas, who suffers from an acute form of amnesia that wipes her memory every night: she wakes with no recollection of the past twenty years and has to rely on a journal to piece together not only her life but the day before, uncovering frightening secrets along the way.
On stage, Giovanna Fletcher plays Christine and Tom Chambers plays Ben. Fletcher is an acclaimed actor, author and podcaster who also serves as executive producer on the production. The show is billed as a tense, fast-paced psychological thriller about memory, identity and trust, and it's the world stage premiere of this particular production.

Behind the scenes, it comes from the team behind the 2025 stage adaptation of The Girl on the Train, with Rachel Wagstaff and Loveday Ingram adapting the book and Ingram directing. The production opens at Milton Keynes Theatre as part of that wider tour, so we're one of the first stops. It's a short run, from 9 to 13 March, so you've only got a few days to catch it.
