"Last
night I dreamt I went to Manderley again." This opening
line from Rebecca is one of the most powerful, most recognised,
in all of literature. For more than sixty years,
audiences around the world have praised Daphne du Maurier's
novel as a spellbinding blend of mystery, horror, romance, and
suspense. Now the Progressive Players present the stage
version of this classic tale.
The story concerns a woman who marries an English nobleman and
returns with him to Manderley, his country estate.
There, she finds herself haunted by reminders of his first
wife, Rebecca, who died in a boating accident less than a year
earlier. In this case, the haunting is psychological,
not physical: Rebecca does not appear as a ghost, but her
spirit affects nearly everything that takes place at Manderley.
The plot evolves into a detective story, as the principal
characters try to reveal or conceal what really happened on
the night Rebecca died. |
