The Third Man

A cinematic thriller staging with live film music.

Post-war Vienna: the four occupying powers have carved up the city, and the black market is thriving. One of the most mysterious racketeers is Harry Lime, who invites his childhood friend and writer Rollo Martins to Vienna. But when Martins arrives, he is just in time for Lime's funeral. The official story is a car accident - but Martins doesn't buy it. He starts digging and discovers that Harry was no small-time crook, but the head of a ruthless smuggling ring. As he searches for the truth, a shadowy third man keeps crossing his path...

In this gripping, fast-paced new production, Graham Greene's classic thriller gets a vivid theatrical revival. The cast takes on every conceivable role, conjuring an almost cinematic likeness of the cult film.
