Starring acclaimed actor, author and podcaster Giovanna Fletcher (The Girl on the Train, Everybody's Talking About Jamie, 2:22 A Ghost Story) as protagonist Christine, this gripping new stage adaptation is written by Rachel Wagstaff and directed by Loveday Ingram – the celebrated creative team behind 2025's hugely successful stage adaptation of The Girl on the Train.

Giovanna Fletcher said: “I read the international bestselling novel Before I Go To Sleep and was hooked, so I can't wait to take this play to the stage in 2027 on our UK and Ireland tour. It's a thrilling, chilling and captivating story that I know audiences will love. I'm also chuffed to be working with Rachel Wagstaff and Loveday Ingram again - the three of us loved working on The Girl On The Train together last year and are very happy to be reunited.”

S J Watson said: "Before I Go To Sleep has lived many lives I never expected — and this feels like one of the most exciting yet. I can't think of a better team to bring Christine's story to the stage.”

This tense and fast-paced psychological thriller will open at Richmond Theatre in January 2027, and then perform at major UK and Ireland theatres through to the end of June. Further casting will be announced. Lighting Design will be by Tony nominee, Jason Taylor .

The gripping production delves into the story of Christine, who appears to have an idyllic life - with one terrible exception. Every night, when she goes to sleep, she loses her memory. Every morning she wakes up remembering nothing from the last 20 years of her life - not even the loving husband lying next to her. As she desperately tries to piece her life back together, hidden and terrifying truths begin to emerge, forcing her to question everything and everyone around her.

Exploring the fragility of memory, identity and trust, Before I Go To Sleep is set to be a thrilling stage production packed with suspense, shocking revelations and edge-of-your-seat twists that will keep audiences gripped until its devastating climax.

Giovanna Fletcher most recently led the UK Tour of international bestselling novel Girl on The Train in the role Rachel Watson, and was previously seen in the West End run and UK tour of the critically acclaimed Everybody's Talking About Jamie, as Miss Hedge after finishing leading the UK tour of Peter James's Wish You Were Dead. Other theatrical credits include 2:22 A Ghost Story and Ivanov, both for the West End, as well as A Christmas Carol, Backbeat and The Christmasaurus. She's also appeared in the feature film The Boat That Rocked.

As well as being an accomplished actress, Giovanna is a hugely successful author, podcast host and Queen of The Castle after winning I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here in 2020. In 2013, Giovanna published her first fiction book, Billy and Me, and 2021 saw her publish her sixth novel Walking On Sunshine. Together with her husband Tom Fletcher , the pair have combined their love of writing to pen a trilogy of Sunday Times best-selling books. Giovanna's first non-fiction book Happy Mum, Happy Baby was a No.1 bestseller that she later turned into an award-winning podcast with Pixiu, with over 30million listeners. Adding to her non-fiction work in 2020, Giovanna wrote Letters on Motherhood, another bestseller.

Giovanna is a proud patron for Breast Cancer Awareness charity CoppaFeel! and an ambassador for The Prince's Trust and Tommy's.
