Adapted by Patrick Barlow from the novel by John Buchan and the movie by Alfred Hitchcock Original concept by Simon Corble, Nobby Dimon Directed by Steve Smith Main House Cast Photos Review

It’s not the book and it’s not the film. This inventive, funny, ironic and very theatrical piece is an outrageously self-conscious tongue-in-cheek spoof on both the famous John Buchan 1915 thriller novel and Alfred Hitchcock’s celebrated 1935 movie adaptation. The whole world of mysterious and sinister foreigners, express steam trains, heroes with lots of derring-do, unbelievably daring escapes and fighter plane pursuits in the Scottish Highlands is recreated on stage in front of you by just four actors and the imaginative use of theatrical technique, props, lighting, effects... and, of course, your imagination.
