Cast includes Ewan Wardrop, Patrycja Kujawska & Karl Queensborough
Full casting has been announced for the new stage adaptation of Alfred Hitchcock’s classic thriller North By Northwest, adapted and directed by Wise Children’s Emma Rice.
North By Northwest begins performances at York Theatre Royal on 18 March 2025, and then tours to HOME Manchester, Liverpool Playhouse, Bath Theatre Royal, Everyman Theatre Cheltenham, and the Alexandra Palace Theatre in London. Additional venues and dates to be announced.
This riotously funny reworking of Hitchcock’s film turns the original thriller on its head, with six shape-shifting performers, a fabulous ‘50s soundtrack, and a lot of hats!
The show will star Mirabelle Gremaud (Blue Beard) as Anna, Patrycja Kujawska (Wise Children) as Eva Kendall, Simon Oskarsson (Hadestown) as Valerian, Katy Owen (The Buddha of Suburbia) as The Professor, Karl Queensborough (Hamilton) as Philip Vandamm, and Ewan Wardrop (A Monster Calls) as Roger Thornhill.
Joining Emma Rice in the creative team are: 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.
North By Northwest is co-produced by Wise Children, York Theatre Royal, HOME Manchester, and Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse.
North By Northwest is playing the Alexandra Palace Theatre in London from 11 to 22 June 2025.
