The show runs July 3 – August 2, 2026 (Opening night: Thursday, July 9, 2026) Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage Old Globe Theatre Conrad Prebys Theatre Center North American premiere Adapted and directed by Emma Rice Based on the Turner Entertainment Co. film "North by Northwest" An Emma Rice Company, Kay & McLean Productions, and Jonathan Church Theatre Productions co-production Produced by special arrangement with Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures and Kay & McLean Productions Direct from England, theatre legend Emma Rice brings to the Globe her inventive take on the Alfred Hitchcock classic "North by Northwest" in a production hailed as “an undoubted triumph” (WhatsOnStage). When ad man Roger Thornhill is mistaken for a Cold War spy, he goes on the run dodging airplanes, bad guys and a femme fatale who may not be what she seems. With seven shape-shifting performers, a swinging ‘50s soundtrack, and the iconic backdrop of Mount Rushmore, Rice transforms the beloved thriller into a riotously funny high-speed theatrical ride.
