Emma Rice's North By Northwest

Unlike the UK's 1984 and Dr. Strangelove (neither of which she was involved with), but more like 39 Steps - Emma Rice's company is doing a version of North By Northwest on stage. I'm curious.... But, we will probably have to await Jordan Catalano's review! https://www.broadwayworld.com/uk-regional/article/Wise-Children-Reveals-New-Season-Including-Emma-Rices-Adaptation-of-Alfred-Hitchcocks-NORTH-BY-NORTHWEST-20240911

But, this is a key paragraph from another site which for some reason BWW left out of its article: "Billed as a riotously funny reworking of Hitchcock’s film, Rice’s adaptation turns the original thriller on its head. With just six shape-shifting performers, a fabulous ‘50s soundtrack, and a lot of hats, this dazzling production plays with heart, mind, and soul." We will see....https://www.westendtheatre.com/252991/news/emma-rice-to-adapt-alfred-hitchcocks-north-by-northwest-for-the-stage/

Yeah no.

There was a stage adaptation of North by Northwest already. It premiered in Australia, and also played the UK and Toronto.
