One of the greatest thrillers of the 21st century has been adapted for the stage by Patrick Barlow. The performance holds up well to John Buchan's original novel, with a fine cast and fantastic set helping to maintain tension alongside a lovably retro retro look and feel.
Theatre goers will be kept on the edge of their seats by the power of this classic whodunnit. Some of the lines that come out of our heroes mouth about 'silly women' will raise the odd eyebrow but Richard Hannay remains the archetypal James Bond figure. Hard as nails with a penchant for cigarettes and fried haddock.
