About the show

This fantastic stage adaptation has been running in London for a number of years, gaining mass critical and commercial support. Based on the John Buchan novel and the Hitchcock film of the same name, the play is fast paced and high energy, using only four actors in over 139 different roles. This heavily stylised piece has had audiences from all over the world laughing, with its biting humour and visual comedy. The skillful adaptation remains faithful to the 1935 film, and includes many references to Hitchcock's other famous films such as 'North by Northwest' and 'Vertigo'.

A murder in a London flat leads to a detective story that takes our leading man to the Highlands of Scotland, involving multiple chase sequences, train walking and swinging from the Forth Bridge. As the search for 'the 39 steps' develops, a colourful cast of characters push the story along from the extreme to the ridiculous. This play has been seen all over the world and continues to mount brand new international productions. The combination of expertly timed physical theatre, visual humour and a witty script make this one of the funniest evenings you can have in a theatre.
