Kym Marsh Ireland-bound in 2026 with Single White Female

A new stage production of Single White Female starring Kym Marsh is set to tour Ireland and the UK next year and will run at Dublin's Gaiety Theatre from 31 March to 4 April.

Dublin tickets go on sale on Friday 11 July.

The play, written by author, journalist, and broadcaster Rebecca Reid, is described as a "bold and modern reimagining" of the 1992 psychological thriller.

Former Coronation Street star Marsh said: "I am so excited to be bringing this brilliant, brand-new, and thrilling play to theatres across England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland.

"I remember being totally gripped by the movie when I first saw it in the cinema and could never have imagined back then that I'd be starring in the world premiere of its life on stage.

"Get ready to be thrilled, shocked, and entertained, and watch out for those stiletto heels."

Marsh, who first shot to fame in the group Hear'Say, went on to play a major role as Coronation Street's Michelle Connor from 2006 to 2019 before starring in Waterloo Road.

The new play updates the plot of the film, which was itself based on a novel called SWF Seeks Same by John Lutz.

"Full of dark humour and sharp and suspenseful storytelling, this new play updates the original story to the age of social media and all that it brings, in a gripping tale of ambition, obsession, and the desperate need for belonging in an isolated world," producers said.

The play will open at Brighton's Theatre Royal on 9 January 2026 and will then tour until 13 June.

Full casting is yet to be announced.
