North by NorthWest: Theatre adaption of Hitchcock’s classic opens in York

One of the most stylish chase thrillers of all time, Hitchcock’s classic movie North by NorthWest features stunning cinematography in amazing locations.

Not so easy to recreate on stage with a cast of just six, you might think. But a new low-budget adaptation has opened this month in York and aims to bring the frisson of cold-war espionage to theatre-goers across the country.
