“Did she? Didn’t she?” ponders the stricken hero about the title character of My Cousin Rachel, taunted with doubt about a possible murder not only in the pages of Daphne du Maurier’s 1951 novel, but endlessly since by the 1952 film, a four-part 1980s BBC version, on radio, and on the stage. He is a young Cornishman called Philip Ashley, heir to a fortune, and played in Roger Michell’s new adaptation by a rakish and dissolute Sam Claflin.
