The production, presented by Wise Children will run at York Theatre Royal from the 18th March until the 5th April.
Theatre company Wise Children has confirmed the complete casting for Emma Rice’s (director and adaptor) stage adaptation of Alfred Hitchcock’s North By Northwest, which will be embarking on a UK tour later this year.
Rice will direct: Mirabelle Gremaud (Anna), Patrycja Kujawska (Eva Kendall), Simon Oskarsson (Valerian), Katy Owen (The Professor), Karl Queensborough (Philip Vandamm) and Ewan Wardrop (Roger Thornhill).
“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.
North By Northwest is a co-production between with York Theatre Royal, HOME Manchester and Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse and will have its press night on the 26th March. Following its run in York, the show will then visit: HOME Manchester, Liverpool Playhouse, Bath Theatre Royal, Everyman Theatre Cheltenham, and concluding its run at Alexandra Palace Theatre on 22nd June. Further dates and venues have yet to be announced.
Meanwhile, the creative team includes: Set and Costume Designer: Rob Howell; Sound Designer: Simon Baker; Lighting Designer: Malcolm Rippeth; Choreographer and Movement Director: Etta Murfitt and Creative Consultant: Mark Kaufman.
