North By Northwest

Gripping, suspenseful and visually stunning, Hitchcock’s classic NORTH BY NORTHWEST played at the Sydney Lyric Theatre in all its glamorous and gleeful glory from 9 March - 3 April 2022.
In an exclusive Sydney season, the sensational DAVID CAMPBELL stars as the suave advertising executive Roger O. Thornhill in director Simon Phillips’ action-packed thriller of mistaken identity, kidnapping and espionage. Boldly-inventive, it is the theatrical event of 2022.

Frequently Asked Questions
View all FAQsWhat time do I need to arrive before a show?
We recommend that you arrive at least 15-30 minutes before the performance starts – or earlier if you would like to enjoy a drink in one of the theatre’s licensed bars.
What if I'm late and the performance has started?
Live theatre has a ‘lock-out’ policy; a period after the curtain goes up when late-comers are not permitted to enter the auditorium. Lock-out periods are set by the production and vary from show to show. Patrons arriving late will be admitted when there’s a suitable break in the performance.
