THE 39 STEPS
PRESS OPENING: Wednesday, May 21, 2025 @ 7PM
THE 39 STEPS Adapted by Patrick Barlow From the novel by John Buchan And the movie by Alfred Hitchcock Directed by Charles McMahon May 15 - June 15, 2025 A spy thriller or a rollicking comedy? Why not both! We travel from London to the Scottish Highlands and back again in this absurdist play about a social dandy trying to thwart the theft of state military secrets. Winner of the 2007 Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Comedy and a 2008 Tony Award® nominee for Best Play, this riotous adaptation of The 39 Steps was inspired by John Buchan's 1915 adventure novel and Alfred Hitchcock's 1935 film and continues to delight audiences today.
Press release available in mid-April 2025
