Rebecca

by Daphne du Maurier. When published in 1938, du Maurier became – to her great surprise – one of the most popular authors of the day. Du Maurier herself adapted Rebecca as a stage play in 1939; it had a successful London run in 1940 of over 350 performances, and and made into a very succcessful film by Alfred Hitchcock in 1940.

Productions in South Africa include:

In 1978/9 NAPAC did the play, with Lois Butlin as “Mrs De Winter” .
