As John becomes more adamant that the sisters are charlatans he finds hlmself caught up in a deadly hunt around the dank and dark alleyways of Venice.

Don't Look Now is part of a collection of dramas in Daphne du Maurier: Double Exposure, a celebration of the imaginative variety and power of one of our most underestimated but prolific and radical female writers. It is the first of three dramatisations of short stories which are taboo-busting excursions into the dark unvisited realms of the inner life . You can also hear The Blue Lenses and The Little Photographer.

Beside Myself, a biographical Afternoon Drama about Daphne, starring Helena Bonham Carter, accompanies the three dramatisations.

A classic thriller dealing with sinister & disturbing events through the prism of grief.

Attempting to move on from their grief over the death of their daughter, John & Laura holiday in Venice; there they encounter strange & violent events.
