Hitchcock & Herrmann is a play written by David Knijnenburg which examines the relationship between film director Alfred Hitchcock and musical composer Bernard Herrmann.
By combining a talent for self-promotion and producing films that were popular, Alfred Hitchcock became one of the greatest directors of motion pictures. No less of a talent in the world of musical composition, Bernard Herrmann was a child prodigy who had worked with Orson Welles before finding a collaboration with Hitchcock on The Trouble with Harry, The Man Who Knew Too Much, The Wrong Man, North by Northwest, Vertigo, Psycho, The Birds and Marnie. After ten years the two men ended their collaboration.
