Red Shift Tour Vertigo
Vertigo is the last instalment of Red Shift's Picture House
triptych of theatre productions drawing on source material best known
through landmark movies. It follows hot on the heels of The
Third Man and Get
Carter.
Paris 1940. German forces mass on the frontier and invasion is inevitable.
Tormented ex-policeman Roger Flavieres - stricken with vertigo and
sickened with guilt after causing the death of a colleague - is asked
to shadow a friend's beautiful wife in order to uncover her secrets.
Bewitched by Madeleine, for Roger their time together becomes the
only thing that matters. His fragile state of mind is shattered when
their affair is ended by her suicide. He descends into a psychotic
hell of drink and obsession, as France sinks into the nightmare of
Nazi occupation.
Five years pass and he is shocked to the core when he sees Madeleine's
face on a cinema newsreel. He embarks on a quest to find her - a quest
that reveals his own part in a terrible crime of which he has been
totally ignorant.
Vertigo is a claustrophobic tale of obsession, madness and murder.
Best known as Hitchcock's classic movie, Jonathan Holloway unearths
the original tale that inspired a great film and in the process uncovers
another lost gem.
