Four fearless actors play 139 roles in 100 madcap minutes in this inventive adaptation of John Buchan's classic British spy thriller.
Our handsome all-action hero Richard Hannay, complete with stiff upper lip and a miraculous knack of getting himself out of sticky situations, encounters dastardly murders, double-crossing secret agents and, of course, devastatingly beautiful women, in a race against time to save the British Empire.
Buchan's THE THIRTY-NINE STEPS has inspired numerous adaptations including Alfred Hitchcock's acclaimed 1935 film.
"Absurdly enjoyable! This gleefully theatrical riff on Buchan's novel is fast and frothy, performed by a cast of four that seems like a cast of thousands."-New York Times
"Won over the audience completely."-The Press
"Theatrical flair."-Theatreview
