By the late 1950s Herrmann and Hitchcock – known to each other as ‘Benny’ and ‘Hitch’ – had formed the most famous composer-director partnership in film history, creating masterpieces of cinema together, including Vertigo, North by Northwest and Psycho.

Benny & Hitch is a brand new radio drama – with live orchestral music – about the extraordinary and explosive relationship between director Alfred Hitchcock and composer Bernard Herrmann.

With tensions growing between the two maverick artists and change afoot in the movie industry, Benny and Hitch’s collaboration and friendship comes to a catastrophic end at a recording session for the film Torn Curtain. But who is really responsible for the break-up? From beyond the grave, Benny and Hitch set out to determine which man has blood on their hands.

You can be in the audience at the Alexandra Palace Theatre for this BBC Radio 3 recording and join us for a thrilling and witty radio drama, featuring actors (to be announced) and live performances of Bernard Herrmann’s film scores by the BBC Concert Orchestra.
