About the Show

Tony and Olivier Award-winning The 39 Steps is a thrilling and comedic theatrical adaptation that pays homage to the master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock. This fast-paced play follows the unwitting hero, Richard Hannay, engulfed in espionage and intrigue as he becomes entangled in murder. Having a cast of only four actors skillfully portraying more than 150 characters, the production unfolds with a clever blend of tension, humor, and Hitchcockian references. As Hannay races against time to solve the mystery of The 39 Steps and clear his name, audiences are taken on a suspenseful yet hilariously entertaining journey. With its clever staging, witty dialogue, and nods to Hitchcock's iconic style, this theatrical masterpiece promises an exhilarating and laughter-filled experience keeping audiences on the edge of their seats from start to finish.
The 39 Steps is recommended for ages 10 and up. For guidance on whether a show is appropriate for your party we urge you to consult our Content Guide, available here.
