ONE of the 21st century’s biggest selling thrillers, The Da Vinci Code, is on stage at Salisbury Playhouse until Saturday 3rd May in a dramatic and technically impressive production, directed by Chelsea Walker, with a script adapted by Rachel Wagstaff and Duncan Abel from Dan Brown’s 2003 novel.

Professor Robert Langdon and fellow cryptologist Sophie Neveu embark on a nerve-wracking quest across Europe. When a brutal murder in the Louvre Museum uncovers hidden clues within Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpieces, the duo must unravel a web of intrigue that could alter the course of history…

Uncover the twists and turns of ancient secrets, relentless rivals and coded messages in an attempt to protect a secret that could change the world forever.

The book comes alive in a way you’ve never seen before, in this electrifying stage adaptation by Rachel Wagstaff and Duncan Abel, who adapted The Girl on the Train which played at Salisbury Playhouse in 2023.
