    John Buchan's THE 39 STEPS - memorably filmed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1935 - is thrillingly adapted as a comedy for the West End stage, now playing at London's Criterion Theatre.


    Richard Hannay is on the run from the police, who suspect him of murdering the woman found stabbed to death in his London flat. His plight takes him to Scotland, where he tries to unravel a potential national security breach in an effort to clear his name.

    Nothing has been cut from this hilarious and spectacular version of Britain's most spell-binding thriller - legendary scenes include the chase on the Flying Scotsman, the escape on the Forth Bridge, the first theatrical bi-plane crash ever staged and the death-defying (or nearly!) finale at the London Palladium!

    The four actors play a minimum of one hundred and thirty nine roles!

    THE 39 STEPS is the most astonishing theatrical tour de force to hit the West End, with more than 2,000 shows under its belt over the last 5 years! Book your 39 Steps tickets today!
