SHOW SYNOPSIS:

With equal parts farce, clowning masterclass and heart-stopping noir thriller, The 39 Steps is Patrick Barlow’s hysterical stage adaptation of John Buchan’s classic novel and Hitchcock’s hit 1935 spy thriller film.
This wonderfully deranged comedy features a small ensemble of actors, playing 139 roles of fast-paced fun, thrilling action and riotous invention.
Set in 1930’s London, the story is a classic portrayal of one man’s flight from wrong accusation through a series of improbable adventures as he is pursued by authorities. The painfully British and devastatingly handsome, Richard Hannay finds himself in the clutches of a beautiful woman, Anabella Schmidt, who later reveals herself as a spy. She has uncovered a plot called ‘The 39 Steps’, but she is murdered clutching a map of Scotland.
Richard Hannay takes on the adventure, wooing every attractive lady in sight and jumping through windows and onto trains as he tries to escape spies and cunning murderers, before finding love whilst handcuffed to a beautiful woman. Hannay must solve the mystery of the 39 steps and save his skin before it’s too late.
