Tricia Kelly returns as the widow Ella who takes on the identity of her dead husband, in a rare British production of this enthralling play that premiered at the Traverse in 1987, catapulting Tilda Swinton to fame. The show opens in Park90 on 6 November, with previews from 4 November and runs until 30 November.
