Patrick Barlow’s adaptation of Hitchcock’s classic takes the Arts Theatre by storm
After nine years in the West End, Broadway and touring 25 countries, Patrick Barlow’s adaptation of Hitchcock’s classic thriller is whirling into Cambridge as part of its tenth anniversary tour.
The comedy play is an Olivier Award winner adapted by Patrick Barlow from Alfred Hitchcock’s spy novel and an original concept by Simon Corble and Nobby Dimon. The story follows the adventures of Richard Hannay as he encounters murder, double-crossing secret agents and devastatingly beautiful women. In it, four actors step up to the daunting task of playing a gob-smacking 139 roles in just 100 minutes.
Catch what The Telegraph calls a ‘dizzyingly entertaining’ show at the Cambridge Arts Theatre from Monday 25 January. Tickets start at £18.
