Show Info | The 39 Steps - a fast-paced, often hilariously irreverent re-creation of Alfred Hitchcock's classic mystery thriller film of 1935. In The 39 Steps, a man with a boring life meets a woman with a thick accent who says she's a spy. When he takes her home, she is murdered. Soon, a mysterious organization called 'The 39 Steps' is hot on the man's trail in a nationwide manhunt that climaxes in a death-defying finale! Four actors portray some 150 roles. The show is a mix of murder mystery and juicy spy novel, with a generous dash of Monty Python zaniness. All roles require good comic timing. |
