Centrepoint's Basement Company is bringing Vintage Hitchcock: A Live Radio Play to the stage for three suspenseful nights.
Spies, murder, romance and other trademarks of Alfred Hitchcock come to
life in the style of a 1940s radio broadcast of the master of suspense's earlier
films.
With The Lodger, Sabotage, and The 39
Steps, this play by Joe Landry is a triple feature complete with vintage commercials. It recreates a daring train chase, a serial killer's ominous presence, and a devastating explosion, created through the magic of live sound effects and musical underscoring.
Director Lizzie Tollemache says audiences are in for a treat.
"This exciting, spooky show, combined with the Basement Company's fresh
approach and humour, is the perfect way to spend a cosy winter evening with
friends at the theatre."
