"I am thrilled, excited and perhaps a little apprehensive to bring the iconic North by Northwest home to the US! I just hope that American audiences will love it as much as our British audiences did. What I am not apprehensive about is bringing its message; one of nations coming together in peace and friendship to make the world a better place. I think we can all raise a glass to that! I am also itching to return to A.C.T. and San Francisco, a piece of my heart will always remain in California and I cannot wait to return to your beautiful theatre, vivid audience and magic state." —Emma Rice
