Why see The 39 Steps?
WHAT'S THAT, A PUB?
Get on your running shoes and prepare to scamper up and down the country with Richard Hannay in this engaging comedy, coming to the Playhouse this spring. Accused of a murder he didn't commit, he must run from the shady spy ring or 'The 39 Steps' as they call themselves. Based on Alfred Hitchcock's classic 1935 thriller, Susi Damilano directs this glorious crime caper full of twists, turns, and of course, just a little romance...
Based on John Buchan's 1912 adventure novel of the same name, Hitchcocks' movie version is still cited as one of the best films of the 20th century. This stage adaptation takes its cues from the latter and as such is a wonderful 1930s romp that'll keep you laughing all night long.
