Based on the classic Daphne Du Maurier novel (and later turned into an Oscar-winning film by Alfred Hitchcock),  Rebecca, according to press notes, "is the story of Maxim de Winter (Hugh Panaro), his new wife (Sierra Boggess) and Mrs. Danvers (Carolee Carmello), the housekeeper of his West Country estate of Manderley — where the memory of his first wife, the glamorous and mysterious Rebecca, still casts a shadow."

Rebecca had its world premiere in 2006 at Vereinigte Buhnen Wien in Vienna, where it played to sold-out houses totaling more than three years.  It is currently playing in Budapest, Hungary; Helsinki, Finland; and at the Imperial Theatre in Tokyo.  An additional production will open in Stuttgart, Germany in November 2011 with productions currently planned for Russia and beyond.
