When Frank drifts into their roadside cafe, Greek immigrant Nick and his wife Cora have no idea of the devastating effect he'll have on their lives. Frank and Cora begin a passionate affair that leads to murder, double-crossing and dubious courtroom deals...

In a new version of James M. Cain's groundbreaking 1930's crime thriller, (also a film in 1946 and 1981 with Jack Nicholson and Jessica Lange) Val Kilmer stars as Frank in the West Yorkshire Playhouse production directed by Lucy Bailey.

One of Val Kilmer's earlier theatre credits was acting alongside Sean Penn and Kevin Bacon in The Slab Boys. His subsequent credits have included Hamlet at The Colorado Shakespeare Festival and 'Tis Pity She's A Whore at Joseph Papp's Public Theatre in New York. His numerous film credits have included The Doors, Heat, Batman Forever and True Romance. Charlotte Emmerson's recent theatre credits include Baby Doll, The Cherry Orchard and Great Expectations.
