Switzerland is an original thriller inspired by renowned master crime novelist Patricia Highsmith by Australian playwright Joanna Murray-Smith.
It’s 1995 in the Swiss Alps and the ailing reclusive crime writer Patricia Highsmith (Strangers on a Train, The Price of Salt) is visited by a genial young man from her New York publisher, sent to convince her to write the final installment of her best-selling Mr. Ripley series.
What first appears to be a standard cat-and-mouse game of wit and wiles soon becomes a dance to the death. Who is the cat and who is the mouse? And… who will make it out of Switzerland alive?
