This fast-paced, theatrical adaptation of Alfred Hitchcock’s classic film takes you into the world of espionage, intrigue, and slapstick comedy. The 39 Steps masterfully combines a gripping spy thriller with an uproarious comedy. 

The story follows the dashing Richard Hannay, who finds himself unwittingly embroiled in a mysterious plot after a chance encounter with a beautiful spy. When she is suddenly murdered in his apartment, Hannay is framed and forced to go on the run. With the police hot on his trail and a dangerous spy organisation called ‘The 39 Steps’ on his heels, Hannay races across Britain to clear his name and save the country from a sinister conspiracy. 

With ingenious staging and four talented actors playing over 150 characters, switching roles and costumes at breakneck speed, this whirlwind physical comedy promises an unforgettable experience. 

This fast-paced and comedic tour-de-force brings a beloved classic story to life in the most unexpected and delightful ways.
