A wild ride of a Victorian crime thriller

At first, the job seems simple: All pickpocket Sue Trinder has to do is help a con man cheat a gullible young heiress out of her fortune. But nothing is quite what it seems in this gritty mystery set in 19th-century England. As the twisting story sends Sue spiraling through squalid London streets, madhouses and a stifling mansion with a ghastly secret, it leads her to the most dangerous landscape of all: awakening sexuality, love and betrayal. Bill Rauch directs this world-premiere adaptation of Sarah Waters’ 2002 novel, a finalist for the Man Booker Prize.



Fingersmith - Carterista


Duración: Tres horas con 12 minutos, incluyendo dos intermedios.

Paseo salvaje de novela victoriana de suspenso


Al principio, la tarea parece sencilla: Todo lo que tiene que hacer la carterista Sue Trinder es ayudar a un estafador a quitarle por engaño su fortuna a una heredera crédula. Pero nada es precisamente lo que parece ser en este escabroso misterio situado en la Inglaterra del siglo 19. Mientras la retorcida historia lleva a Sue volando por las calles asquerosas de Londres, los manicomios y una mansión sofocante con un secreto horroroso, la conduce al más peligroso de todos los paisajes: un despertar sexual, el amor y la traición. Bill Rauch dirige este estreno mundial de la adaptación de la novela 2002 de Sarah Waters, finalista al Premio Man Booker.
