Single White Female is on at the Everyman Theatre in Cheltenham until Sat 21st March 2026.
Sharing a flat can be murder…
Based on the iconic 90’s psychological thriller, the world premiere stage production of Single White Female is a bold and modern reimagining of the best-selling book and hit movie, that coined a phrase and led a generation to fear a stiletto heel!
Staring the talented Kym Marsh and Lisa Faulkner,
Allie (Lisa) is a recently divorced mum, balancing being a single parent with the launch of her tech start up. When she decides to advertise for a lodger to help make ends meet, the delightful Hedy (Kym Marsh) offers her a lifeline. But as their lives intertwine, boundaries blur, and a seemingly perfect arrangement begins to unravel.
The play is 2hrs 15 minutes long, which doesn't feel like enough time to tell a story so well, but it works out to be great length to tell the stories with twists and turns left resolved at the end of the play, leaving the audience member wanting a third act. The dark humour and drama is brilliant, works so well along with the sudden pyrotechnics in the once scene flat, showcases just why sharing a flat can be murder really well, watch out for the dreaded window at the start and the quite relevant reference at the start which gives a major clue to the fantastic ending.
Overall the play is great, its got edge of your seat drama and some great music for scene changes to help the story along (albeit it some songs do go on for slightly longer than you would want). Overall Kym Marsh and Lisa Faulkner are brilliant in this play and is certainly one to watch.
As always, thanks to Cheltenham Everyman and Encore PR for the invite.
