The 39 Steps

The play was adapted by Patrick Barlow, from the novel by John Buchan, from the movie by Alfred Hitchcock. Directed by Terry Southerington.

The 39 Steps combines a film masterpiece by Alfred Hitchcock with a juicy spy novel and adds a large splash of Money Python humor. The result is a fast-paced whodunit with four versatile actors portraying more than 50 roles. The rather dull Richard Hannay encounters a woman who claims to be a spy. When she is suddenly murdered, Richard finds himself the focus of a nationwide manhunt led by a mysterious organization called “The 39 Steps”. This film noir gem is a hilarious comedy full of inventive stagecraft and virtuoso performances that will have you rolling in the aisles until the death-defying, climatic finale.

Winner of 2 Tony Awards, The Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatrical Experience, and the Laurence Olivier Award for best new comedy.
