Description Phyllis Nagy's play from Patricia Highsmith's novel, about amorality and a truly charming psychopath. To be young and carefree amid the blue waters and idyllic landscape of sun-drenched Italy in the late 1950s; that's la dolce vita Tom Ripley craves - and Dickie Greenleaf leads. When Dickie's father asks Tom to bring his wayward, playboy son back home to America, Dickie and his beautiful girlfirend never suspect the dangerous extremes to which Ripley will go to make their lifestyle his own. After all, it's better to be a fake somebody than a real nobody.
