The play is based on Alfred Hitchcock’s 1935 film of the novel by John Buchan, and it has been a hit since premiering in London last year, winning the 2007 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy. On Broadway the comedy-thriller garnered six Tony Award nominations. Tickets range from $295 to $595, available from HK Ticketing (www.hkticketing.com or 3128 8288).
