Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python and you have The 39 Steps, a fast-paced whodunit for anyone who loves the magic of theatre!
Richard Hannay is an innocent man, swept up into intrigue he didn’t know he needed. When a mysterious female spy is murdered in his London apartment, he becomes a man on the run navigating villains, clowns, and femme fatales galore. It's a classic tale of espionage, a seductive spy story, and all the best of noir and rollicking comedy wrapped into one theatrical package.
This two-time Tony and Drama Desk Award-winning treat is packed with nonstop laughs, an onstage plane crash, handcuffs, missing fingers, and some good old-fashioned romance! All of the action is brought to life by four actors playing over 100 zany characters.
