The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis opens 2010 with a brilliant adaptation of director Alfred Hitchcock's classic of the silver screen, THE 39 STEPS. Patrick Barlow's script based on Simon Corble and Nobby Dimon's original conception (as well as John Buchan's novel and Hitchcock's amazing film) utilizes the services of a mere four actors to carry the action of this purposely convoluted plot, which not only requires a great deal of talent, but also a certain degree of speed in order pull off all of the tricky transitions that occur. This witty 'tour de farce' is a non-stop laugh riot, performed by a game and terrific cast that keeps the hilarity flowing from start to finish.

The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis (The Rep) continues its 2009-2010 Mainstage series with Patrick Barlow's fast-paced and funny adaptation of Alfred Hitchcock's The 39 Steps.
