The 39 Steps – Comedy version of Hitchcock’s spy thriller

This event has already passed

The hilarious comedy adaptation of Alfred Hitchcocks's classic spy thriller, The 39 Steps, is back in the West End after a triumphant run on Broadway and a successful UK tour.

It follows the adventures of the handsome hero Richard Hannay, who finds himself embroiled in a series of dastardly murders with double-crossing secret agents and devastatingly beautiful women... all whilst trying to maintain a perfect pencil moustache and British stiff-upper-lip.

Alfred Hitchcock... with a comedy twist!

Legendary film director Alfred Hitchcock took John Buchanan's book and turned The 39 Steps into an award-winning movie starring Robert Donat and Madeline Carroll.

Patrick Barlow then gave it a comedy twist and made it into a stage play, picking up an Olivier Award for 'Best Comedy' and two Tony Awards on Broadway.

139 characters performed by 4 actors

The fast-paced comedy sees all 139 characters performed by just four fearless actors, giving the dizzyingly entertaining plot a dashing sense of fun.

What the theatre critics say...

The Sunday Times: ★★★★ "A joyous version of the Hitchcock classic"; Sunday Express: ★★★★ "Hilarious"; The Telegraph: ★★★★ "Dizzyingly entertaining"
