THE 39 STEPS
adapted by Patrick Barlow from Alfred Hitchcock’s film
directed by James Bell

 "Theatre at its finest!... Absurdly enjoyable! This gleefully theatrical riff on Hitchcock's film is fast and frothy, performed by a cast of four that seems like a cast of thousands." - The New York Times

Part epic spy-tale, part madcap comedy extravaganza. The 39 Steps follows innocent bystander Richard Hannay as he races cross-country from London to Edinburgh and back to solve a mysterious crime: before it’s blamed on him! Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python and you have The 39 Steps, a fast-paced whodunit for anyone who loves the magic of theatre! This wonderfully inventive, gripping comedy thriller and award-winning treat is packed with nonstop laughs, an on-stage plane crash, handcuffs, missing fingers and some good old-fashioned romance!
