Think of Alfred Hitchcock's espionage thriller being run through a Monty Python blender and what comes out is , a turbo charged comedy that has picked up Olivier and Tony Awards. Seen by more than three million people in 39 countries, from the West End to Broadway, this reimagined take is making its way to Australia.
Directed by Damien Ryan and featuring Lisa McCune, Ian Stenlake and The Umbilical Brothers, David Collins and Shane Dundas, the show follows the baffled Richard Hannay after he gets framed for murder. He spends the evening trying to clear his name while avoiding the police, outwitting shadowy agents and surviving a series of increasingly ridiculous encounters with spies, secrets and suspiciously seductive strangers.
