Play Opened 25 June 2003, Closed 20 September 2003

Lyric Theatre Shaftesbury Avenue, London.

Hitchcock Blonde is not a play about Alfred Hitchcock. But he may however make a cameo appearance. The Blonde will remain anonymous, which is a clue.

After a successful season at the Royal Court Theatre, this production transfers to the Lyric Theatre.

Written and Directed by the award-winning playwright and director Terry Johnson. His previous credits include Dead Funny (writer and director), Cleo, Camping, Emmanuelle and Dick (writer and director) and The Graduate (adapter and director). He has won two Olivier Awards for 'Best Comedy'.
