Wiltshire Creative has announced the full cast for Rachel Wagstaff and Duncan Abel’s stage adaptation of Dan Brown’s best-selling thriller novel The Da Vinci Code.
The production opens at Salisbury Playhouse on 15th April, with previews from 10th April and runs until 3rd May, ahead of its run at the co-producing venue, Mercury Theatre Colchester, from 7th May.
We are promised that Dan Brown’s best-selling thriller novel will come alive in a way you’ve never seen before in this stage adaptation written by Rachel Wagstaff and Duncan Abel, the same writers who adapted the smash hit The Girl on the Train, which played at Salisbury Playhouse in 2023.
Professor Robert Langdon and fellow cryptologist Sophie Neveu embark on a pulse-pounding quest across Europe. When a brutal murder in the Louvre Museum uncovers hidden clues within Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpieces, the duo must unravel a web of intrigue that could alter the course of history...
Uncover the twists and turns of ancient secrets, relentless rivals and coded messages in a quest to protect a secret that could change the world forever.
