“The 39 Steps” is a wildly comic thriller by Patrick Barlow in which the entirety of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1935 adventure film “The 39 Steps” (with over 150 characters) is performed on stage by a cast of only 4! It’s filled with dangerous femme fatales, dastardly villains, deadly assassins and lightning-fast costume changes. Audiences will be delighted as Alfred Hitchcock’s film adaptation of John Buchan’s original story is magically recreated on stage – from the Flying Scotsman train ride to a plane crash – right before your very eyes.
Richard Hannay, British everyman, has a chance encounter with a mysterious female spy in foggy London town. This launches him on a cross-country mission to exonerate himself of a murder charge, and save his King and country – all while Scotland Yard’s finest are on his heels in unrelenting pursuit. “The 39 Steps” is an engaging mystery as well as a fast-paced, boisterous comedy, with the more than 150 characters from Hitchcock’s film performed by a ridiculously talented cast of three men and one woman.
Showtimes: Tues.-Sun. at 7pm, except Sun. September 18, October 2, 9 & 16 at 3pm.
