Before I Go To Sleep

Before I Go To Sleep
Memories lie. People do too.  

Acclaimed actor, author and podcaster Giovanna Fletcher stars in the world stage premiere of Before I Go To Sleep. Based on the international bestselling novel that became a hit film starring Nicole Kidman and Colin Firth, this thrilling new adaptation comes to Lowry, in May 2027. 

Christine appears to have an idyllic life — with one terrible exception. Every night, when she goes to sleep, she loses her memory. Every morning she wakes up remembering nothing from the last 20 years of her life - not even the loving husband lying next to her. As she desperately tries to piece her life back together, hidden and terrifying truths begin to emerge — forcing her to question everything and everyone around her. 

From the team behind the hugely successful stage adaptation of The Girl on the Train, this tense, fast-paced psychological thriller explores the fragile vulnerability of memory, identity and trust — with twists and turns that will keep you gripped until its shocking climax.
