Kneehigh's Rebecca

Rebecca comes to life on stage in a new production from Olivier and Tony Award nominated Kneehigh Theatre at The Lowry.

Daphne du Maurier’s story has been loved for generations, both as a literary classic and an iconic Oscar-winning Hitchcock film.

In this new production, Mrs Danvers is played by Emily Raymond, who trained at Manchester Polytechnic School of Theatre. Emily, who starred in the film Love Lies Bleeding (1999) alongside Faye Dunaway, is the daughter of actor Gary Raymond.

She stars alongside Tristan Sturrock as Maxim de Winter. Tristan originated the roles of Alec in Brief Encounter and Tristan in Tristan & Yseult and has gone on to play both in the West End and across the UK, America and Australia. His one man show Mayday Mayday has played successful seasons in Edinburgh and New York.
