London, 1935. Dull Richard Hannay encounters a woman who claims to be a spy. When she is suddenly murdered, Richard finds himself falsely accused and the focus of a nationwide manhunt led by a mysterious organization called “The 39 Steps.” And the chase is on.
Based on the classic 1935 Hitchcock film, this theatrical adaptation is renowned for its ingenious blend of suspense, comedy, and masterful stagecraft. The 39 Steps is a fast-paced, farcical whodunit with four versatile actors portraying more than 50 roles.
