North by Northwest

Northwest by Northwest hurtles onto the Toni Rembe stage, opening A.C.T's 2026/27 season in this dynamic production from Emma Rice (Brief Encounter). Adapted from Alfred Hitchcock's classic film, this comic caper is just the right mix of thrilling action set pieces, snappy one-liners, and sparky romance. The story follows an advertising executive (portrayed by Cary Grant in the movie) who becomes embroiled in a murder plot that sees him chased across the country by thugs, Feds, and spies.
