Northwest by Northwest hurtles onto The Old Globe's stage in this dynamic production from Emma Rice (Brief Encounter). Adapted from Alfred Hitchcock's classic film, this comic caper is just the right mix of thrilling action set pieces, snappy one-liners, and sparky romance. The story follows an advertising executive (portrayed by Cary Grant in the movie) who becomes embroiled in a murder plot that sees him chased across the country by thugs, Feds, and spies.

Grammy Award winner Pat Monahan writes the music and lyrics for the new musical adaptation of John Carney's Oscar-nominated film, premiering at The Old Globe in September 2026! Telling the story of a young musician and a burnt-out producer who form an unlikely creative partnership, Begin Again is a heart-warming tale of perseverance and finding your purpose.
