You can contact the society by writing to The Secretary, Forthcoming production:
Architect Guy Haines and wealthy loner Charles Bruno meet by chance on a train. Alfred Hitchcock took the plot from Patricia Highsmith’s novel, twisted it somewhat and in 1951 produced one of the most iconic films noirs of all time. Playwright Craig Warner acquired the theatre rights in 1995 and wrote the play that Limelight are presenting at the Carriageworks. Warner disregarded the film (how could anyone successfully out-Hitchcock Hitchcock?) and returned to the original novel for his principal plot, though there are some differences in the denouement, which make it more appropriate for the stage. Strangers On A Train has been staged successfully worldwide and is a welcome addition to the Carriageworks’ 2009 winter programme. |
