My Dark Places
James Ellroy (adapted by Steve Chambers)
January 24, 2009
American crime writer James Ellroy is the author of many bestselling books including L.A. Confidential (a 1997 feature film starring Kevin Spacey and Kim Basinger) and The Black Dahlia (the 2006 feature starring Josh Hartnett and Scarlett Johansson).
My Dark Places is perhaps his most surprising work. It is Ellroy's non-fictional account of the murder of his mother in the late fifties.
Ellroy was 10 years old when his mother, Jean, was brutally murdered outside a local High School in Los Angeles in 1958. The killer was never found.
In 1994, aged 46 and already a successful crime writer, Ellroy decided to reinvestigate his mother's murder and try to find the killer himself thirty-six years later, with the help of a retired Los Angeles County homicide detective. His journey of discovery had implications he could never have imagined and as a result he discovered some truths about himself and his real feelings for his mother.
The play stars Toby Stephens (Die Another Day) as Ellroy; with Matthew Marsh (Spooks); Corey Johnson; Barbara Barnes; Lorelei King; Kerry Shale; William Hope; Laurel Lefkow; Peter Marinker; and introduces Ethan Brook as the 10-year-old Ellroy.
