🎭 WHAT TO EXPECT
Starring Kym Marsh (Coronation Street, Waterloo Road, Abigail’s Party) and Lisa Faulkner (Holby City, Murder In Suburbia, John and Lisa’s Weekend Kitchen), this gripping new adaptation throws you into a world where trust is fragile, friendships are tested, and secrets lurk behind every closed door.
Written by acclaimed author, journalist and broadcaster Rebecca Reid, this fresh retelling updates the original story for the age of social media, delivering a sharp, suspense-filled tale of ambition, obsession and the desperate need to belong.
📖 THE STORY
Allie is a recently divorced mum, juggling single parenthood with the launch of her tech start-up. When she advertises for a lodger to help make ends meet, the charming Hedy seems like the perfect solution. But as their lives become more entwined, boundaries blur and the arrangement begins to unravel in unsettling ways.
From the producer of the hit stage adaptation of The Girl on the Train, Single White Female promises dark humour, stiletto-sharp suspense and plenty of edge-of-your-seat moments.
