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...
