Adapted from the screenplay  by Arthur Laurent, Alfred Hitchcock's thrilling suspense mystery is based upon a play by Patrick Hamilton, which in turn was based upon a true story of a murder that rocked polite society in the 1920s. In order to prove their superior intellects, two talented, well-to-do young men commit "the perfect crime" to illustrate the superman theories of Nietzsche, taught to them by their schoolmaster, Rupert Cadell.

A supper party is then held at the boys' swank uptown New York apartment - the guests invited are friends and family of the victim, as well as their former teacher Rupert. Events build up to a shocking climax. In true Hitchcock fashion, the tense, edgy script provides a taut, entertaining and nail-biting piece of theatre. 


Ideal for celebrating the start of the festive season, this play will have you sitting on the edge of your seat.
