By: Lauren Wolman Mar. 03, 2010
Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python and you have Alfred Hitchcock's THE 39 STEPS. This 2 time Tony and Drama Desk Award winner is coming to The Kentucky Center, March 16-21, 2010 as a PNC Broadway Across America 09/10 Season Presentation.
Tickets are on sale now and may be purchased from an authorized ticket agent in person at the Kentucky Center Box Office, online at BroadwayAcrossAmerica.com or by phone at 502.584.7777.The play is adapted by Patrick Barlow, directed by Maria Aitken and features sets and costumes by Peter McKintosh. The production is based on an original concept by Simon Corble and Nobby Dimon and on the book by John Buchan. Seeking a frivolous night out at the theatre, Richard Hannay is lured into a world of intrigue by a mysterious woman claiming to be a spy. When she winds up dead in his flat, he flees London with the police hot on his trail. This is a classic portrayal of one man's flight from wrong accusation through a series of misadventures and old fashioned romance. THE 39 STEPS features a cast of four actors who, against all odds, breathlessly and hilariously attempt to reenact all of the characters, locations and famous scenes in Hitchcock's 1935 film thriller with just a few props and a lot of theatrical ingenuity and split second quick changes.
The production received its American debut at the Huntington Theatre Company in Boston MA. The Broadway premiere began previews on January 4, 2008 and officially opened on January 15 at Roundabout Theatre Company's American Airlines Theatre.
