Nominated for eleven and winner of four Broadway World Toronto Awards after its original 2019 run, Bygone Theatre’s The Rear Window is returning to the stage as our biggest production yet. Based on the short story "It Had To Be Murder" by Cornell Woolrich, the same tale that inspired the 1954 Hitchcock film, Rear Window (James Stewart, Grace Kelly), The Rear Window takes a new look at this classic tale of a “peeping Tom” who saw more than he wanted to see. A gripping, psychological thriller that will leave you guessing until the final moments whether or not what we’re seeing can truly be believed.

Written and directed by Emily Dix (BWT Award Best Director: The Birds, The Rear Window). Starring Oliver Georgiou (The Birds, SODA Impro) as L.B. “Jeff” Jefferies; Kate McArthur (The Yellow Wallpaper, Macbeth) in her award-winning role as Lena Hall; Cayne Kitagawa (Alice in Wonderland, The Oresteia) as Charlie Thomas; with Antonino Pruiti (Beloved, Obliteration) reprising his role as the menacing Lars Thorwald. Featuring Simone Matheson, Rachel Frederick, Sean Jacklin, Trinity Lloyd and Jacob Dowdall. 

Set and lighting design by Wesley Babcock; projection design by Bria Cole; assistant directed by Ayesha Maria Khan; stage managed by Julia Edda Pape. Assistant set designer Aria Kowal; assistant lighting designer Arianna Skirzynska; assistant scenic designer Athen Chloe Go; wardrobe assistant Olia Kashevarova. Produced by Conor Fitzgerald and Emily Dix; assistant producer Cass Iacovelli; producer-in-training Isabella Cesari. Made possible through a partnership with Hart House Theatre as venue sponsor and projection technology provided by Panasonic.
