Overview
The great detective writer Georges Simenon escaped France at the end of
World War Two, and arrived in the USA to start again. With his American
wife, he settled at Shadow Rock Farm in Lakeville. Years later, he wrote
La Main, a psychological thriller set in a New England farmhouse. David
Hare has taken this novel, and forged from it a startling new play. The
Red Barn premiered at the National Theatre, London, in October 2016.
