After her travelling companion suddenly disappears, Iris is perplexed to find that all the other passengers deny ever having seen her.

With the help of urbane musician Max she turns detective and together they become drawn into a complex web of European intrigue as they try to solve the mystery of why the lady vanished.

A quick-witted and devilishly fun thriller, the 1939 classic fi lm is ranked as one of the best British films of all time.

This early masterpiece from Hitchcock - the ‘Master of Suspense’ – is brought to life in a new adaptation from the masters of the stage thriller.

It is on Leeds Grand Theatre from Monday July 22 to Saturday July 29.
