Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python and you have this hilarious spy story that turns theatre on its head. When a beautiful spy leaks a deadly secret to a stranger, self-proclaimed ordinary guy Richard Hannay is pitted against a network of German spies preparing to storm Great Britain. Hannay finds himself embroiled in a high-speed chase while dodging police, charming ladies, and searching for clues. This spell-binding, hilarious thriller includes the first theatrical bi-plane crash ever staged, a provocative bedroom sequence and a death-defying (or nearly!) finale. Winner of the 2007 Best New Comedy at the Sir Lawrence Olivier Awards, this is one story of spies and mayhem you won’t want to miss!
