In short
- The Housemaid stage adaptation opens in London in September 2027.
- Richmond Theatre will host its theatrical debut.
- A tour is planned after the opening run.
Explained simply
The Housemaid began as a bestselling thriller novel by American author Freida McFadden. It centres on a woman who takes a job in another family’s home, where the people and circumstances around her prove less straightforward than they first appear.
The story has already been adapted as a film starring Sydney Sweeney, and it is expanding into a stage production. Lionsgate is the company behind the adaptation, while Richmond Theatre is the London venue named for its opening run. A planned tour could bring the story to audiences beyond that initial run.
