The John Buchan novel has been turned into a ripping yarn on film on numerous occasions but the Hitchcock black-and-white version of 1935 has remained the classic take.

It enjoyed a long run in the West End and numerous productions around the world.

Its fast-paced brilliance of a few cast members taking on an extraordinary number of roles has also seen it prove a popular choice for smaller outfits and Nuneaton’s Sudden Impulse Theatre Company will be joining the roll of honour at the Abbey Theatre next week, from Wednesday to Saturday, September 14-17, at 7.30pm each evening.

Tickets can be booked through the theatre website or Sudden Impulse’s Facebook page
