Alfred Hitchcock is suddenly flavour of the month. But his 1959 classic North By Northwest really ought to be unstageable.
Patrick Marmion reviews "North By Northwest" and "Alfred Hitchcock Presents - The Musical," finding ingenuity, style, and wit in "North By Northwest" but considering "Alfred Hitchcock Presents – The Musical" less successful. Emma Rice directed "North By Northwest" at the York Theatre Royal, while "Alfred Hitchcock Presents – The Musical" played at the Theatre Royal, Bath.
