Dan Brown’s bestselling crime novel The Da Vinci Codeis being adapted into a stage play.
The Da Vinci Codewill make its premiere during a UK tour in 2021, opening at the Churchill Theatre in Bromley on 3 April 2021.
The play tells the story of Professor Robert Langdon and fellow cryptologist Sophie Neveu as they investigate the brutal murder of the curator of the Louvre, solving a series of baffling clues to unravel a vast conspiracy.
Brown’s novel has sold more than 100 million copies worldwide, making it the best-selling novel of the 21st Century. In 2006, it was adapted into a blockbuster film starring Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou.

The book is being adapted by Rachel Wagstaff and Duncan Abel, and is set to be directed by Luke Sheppard, who recently directed the West End musical & Juliet.
