Conman Tom Ripley is determined to gain wealth and social status by any means possible. The perfect opportunity arises when American financier Herbert Greenleaf sends him to Italy to track down his son, who has been living the high life there. His mission takes on a sinister twist as the lives of Ripley and young Richard Greenleaf become inextricably entwined. Peter Marks of The Washington Post hailed Round House’s production as “an exemplary area premiere” and a “high-end spine-tingler.”

Ripley was adapted for the stage by Phyllis Nagy from Patricia Highsmith’s novel. Round House’s Producing Artistic Director Blake Robison directed. The cast includes Karl Miller as Tom Ripley, Billy Finn, Naomi Jacobson, Marcus Kyd, John Lescault, Kaytie Morris, and Sasha Olinick.
