John Buchan’s THE 39 STEPS – memorably filmed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1935 – is thrillingly adapted for the stage.
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!
With four actors playing a minimum of one hundred and thirty nine roles, THE 39
STEPS is the most astonishing theatrical tour de force of the year.
