This show ran March-April 2022
Written by Patrick Barlow
Directed by Mark Carter
Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python and you have the 39 Steps: a fast-paced and hilarious who-dun-it. Four actors play all the roles in this Tony Award winner.
The show hurtles a notorious fugitive and a spellbound blonde from a London music hall north by northwest to Scotland’s most remote highlands. Will they save Britain from a den of devious spies?
A cast of four actors plays over 150 characters in this fast-paced tale of an ordinary man on an extraordinarily entertaining adventure. The 39 Steps contains every single legendary scene from the award-winning movie — including the chase on the Flying Scotsman, the escape on the Forth Bridge, the first theatrical bi-plane crash ever staged and the sensational death-defying finale in the London Palladium.
Suitable for:
Adults & older children 12+.
Some suggestive dialog.
Parental Guidance.Mystery

Audience Reactions:
Arsenic and Old Lace
The show will split your sides and rupture your spleen. It’s a dark comedy you don’t want to miss. You’ll be totally entertained. I think you’ll enjoy every minute of it.
Blithe Spirit
You'll get his trademark wit, with ectoplasm and ghosts ('My wife's funeral exhausted her!').
Blithe Spirit
Noel Coward wrote Blithe Spirit as a distraction during World War II and it’s the perfect comedic distraction for our own troubled times.
Mousetrap
...the succession of neatly plotted twists and the final unexpected reveal create a well-oiled comedy.
