About the Play
Adapted by Patrick Barlow from John Buchan’s novel and Alfred Hitchcock’s iconic 1935 film, "The 39 Steps" follows Richard Hannay, an ordinary man thrust into extraordinary circumstances. After a chance encounter with a mysterious woman, Hannay finds himself entangled in a dangerous web of espionage. With the police on his trail and a shadowy organization at his heels, Hannay must race against time to clear his name and save the day.
"This play is a delight for fans of Hitchcock, classic mysteries, and anyone who loves a good laugh," says Marybeth Clark. "The cast’s energy and versatility are extraordinary, and the show’s clever use of minimal props and scenery will keep audiences on the edge of their seats."
