Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python and you have The 39 Steps, a fast-paced whodunit for anyone who loves the magic of theatre! The 39 Steps has played in over forty countries worldwide, winning Olivier, Helpmann, Moliere, and Tony Awards. This treat of a show is packed with non-stop laughs, over 150 zany characters, an onstage plane crash, handcuffs, missing fingers, and some good old-fashioned romance! Follow in the stumbling footsteps of our hapless hero Richard Hannay as he becomes entangled in the web of the mysterious Annabella Schmidt, falls for the vivacious Pamela, and does battle with the dastardly Professor Jordan.
