ALFRED HITCHCOCK’S NORTH BY NORTHWEST  Adapted and directed by Emma Rice

A Wise Children, York Theatre Royal, HOME Manchester and Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse co-production

It would be strange, would it not, if, in a city of seven million people, one man were never mistaken for another…

But that is exactly what happens to Roger Thornhill, reluctant hero of North by Northwest, when a mistimed phone call to his mother lands him smack bang in the middle of a Cold War conspiracy. Now he’s on the run, dodging spies, airplanes and a femme fatale who might not be all she seems.

After 5 star sell-out shows Blue Beard, Malory Towers, and Wuthering Heights, legendary theatre director Emma Rice returns to York with her company Wise Children to take on Alfred Hitchcock’s iconic thriller.  With a quick-changing ensemble of six, a stack of hats, and a jazz fused ’50s soundtrack, this dazzling production plays with the heart, mind and soul.

Join us for a post-show discussion on Tue 25 Mar the 7:30pm performance.

Press Night Fizz
