Alfred Hitchcock's THE LODGER to Kick Off Vertigo Theatre's 50th Season
The world premiere adaptation features Lauren Brotman and David Haysom in a suspenseful thriller directed by Jack Grinhaus.

Based on the novel by Marie Belloc Lowndes and inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's 1927 film. September 26 - October 25.

Bill and Ellen Bunting are struggling to make ends meet when a mysterious lodger appears to be the answer to their financial troubles. However, the timing of the lodger's arrival is eerily suspicious as several murders indicate that a serial killer is on the loose. As Bill becomes a suspect in the eyes of policewoman Joannie, Ellen's best friend, Ellen begins to look closer at the stranger living under her roof. Can Ellen get to the truth before more young women fall victim, and what will she do once she finds out who the killer truly is?
Inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's famous silent thriller of the same name, renowned Canadian novelist Susie Moloney and award-winning playwright Vern Thiessen reanimate this classic suspense into a modern and stunning world premiere.
