Tony Nominee Terry Kinney Will Direct Upcoming Broadway Production of Hitchcock Thriller Rear Window

The previously announced Broadway adaptation of the classic thriller Rear Window will be adpated by playwright Keith Reddin (Too Much Memory) and directed by Tony nominee Terry Kinney (One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest). No dates or theater have been set, but a planned production timeline, casting and further creative team members for the production will be announced soon.

"Rear Window is a remarkable story, with a classic film adaptation in Hitchcock’s masterpiece," said Kinney, in a statement. "Keith and I hope to honor the amazing source material and create a true psychological thriller for the stage — one that combines theatrical storytelling with new technology to reveal our primal fears."

Adapted from Cornell Woolrich’s original short story—made famous by Alfred Hitchcock’s 1954 film of the same name—Rear Window is the story of a wheelchair-bound photographer who witnesses a murder while spying on a neighboring New York City apartment. Producer Lias J. 'Jeff' Steen also joins producers Charlie Lyons, Jay Russell and Tim Guinee in bringing the production to the Great White Way.
