Extra Information

• Notes: Set just before the last World War in the magnificent house of Manderley in Cornwall, du Maurier’s masterpiece tells us the story of Maxim de Winter and the mysterious death of his wife Rebecca. Max has returned to his Cornish residence from Italy to begin a new life with another Mrs. de Winter, but Rebecca’s presence still haunts them in every way, and a mysterious darkness about Max and Manderley soon envelops them. No one can forget Rebecca, from the cold and unforgiving Housekeeper Mrs. Danvers to the Head of the Estate, but was her death really an accident? A tale filled with romance and mystery starts to unfold, and all is far from what it seems, making Rebecca as thrilling today as it was when first written. 2007 marks the centenary of du Maurier’s birth, and Rebecca remains one of her most successful novels and a modern day classic. Published in countless editions and with two film adaptations to date it remains immensely popular. The play brings this wonderful tale to life through the magic of theatre, and transports us to the dark and mysterious world of Manderley. It is quite simply a classic not to be missed.Ruislip Dramatic Society will present Clifford Williams’ adaptation of du Maurier’s masterly stage version of REBECCA from Wednesday 21st
