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.

Emma Rice takes on Alfred Hitchcock in this reworking that turns the original thriller on its head. With just six shape-shifting performers, a ‘50s soundtrack and a LOT of hats, this production plays with the heart, mind and soul.
