Alfred Hitchcock's spy thriller North by Northwest is regarded as one of the best suspense movies of all time. Innocent advertising executive Roger Thornhill is chased across the United States by agents of a mysterious organisation - it's a tale of mistaken identity, full of car chases and plane crashes. How on earth could you turn this into a stage play?
The Auckland Theatre Company has found a way. North by Northwest is at the theatre, adapted for the stage by Carolyn Burns, directed by Simon Phillips, and starring Antonia Prebble who played Lorretta West in Outrageous Fortune. North by Northwest is showing from now until November 19 at the ASB Waterfront Theatre in Auckland.
Antonia Prebble stars in Auckland Theatre Company’s season of Hitchcock’s North by Northwest, now playing live on stage at ASB Waterfront Theatre until 19 November. Tickets atc.co.nz Photo: Andi Crown Photography
