Patrick Barlow’s Olivier award winning comedy adaptation of the original 1915 novel by John Buchan – memorably filmed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1935 – played for 9 years in London’s West End. Set in the build-up to World War 1, it follows the antics of Richard Hannay who is involuntarily involved in a spy caper that takes him from London to Scotland and back again, trying to prevent important secrets being taken out of the country that could harm the security of the nation. Throughout his travels, he engages with a whole host of characters, from the stereotypical femme fatale to bungling cops, foreign spies, Scottish hoteliers and a variety of others. NOTHING has been cut from this hilarious and spectacular version of Hitchcock’s most iconic film thriller! Legendary scenes include: The

Chase on the Flying Scotsman!
