Babylone is a new play that will premiere in the Belgrade Theatre, Coventry’s B2 auditorium from Saturday 24 October to Saturday 14 November.

It’s a stylish and engrossing tale of suspense and is a new adaptation, by David Eldridge, of Jean-Marie Besset’s original French play, Rue de Babylone, which was a big success in Paris in 2004.

We’re hoping to bring you some interesting bits and bobs of information about the show via this blog - starting with a word from the show’s director, who is also the Belgrade Theatre’s Artistic Director, Hamish Glen:

“When I first read this script I found it wonderfully chilling and fantastically evocative of films like Graham Greene’s The Third Man and the works of Alfred Hitchcock like The Man Who Knew Too Much and Vertigo. This is a great opportunity to try to recreate that film noir atmosphere live on stage.”
