The 39 Steps, winner of the Olivier Award for 'Best New Comedy,' will feature two new cast members starting April 23.

Joining the cast, which currently features Rachel Pickup and Simon Gregor, will be Robert Portal as Richard Hannay and Jimmy Chisholm as Clown. Under Maria Aitken's production, The 39 Steps is performed by four actors playing over 150 roles, and was voted Best New Comedy at the 2007 Whatsonstage.com awards.

Best known as Hitchcock's 1935 thriller and based on a book by John Buchan, The 39 Steps has been playing sell-out shows at the Criterion since transferring from the Tricycle Theatre. Patrick Barlow's comedic adaptation contains every single scene from Hitchcock's movie, including the first theatrical bi-plane crash ever staged and the well-known  'stockings and suspenders' scene.  

The 39 Steps is booking until 15 September 2007 at the Criterion Theatre, Picadilly Circus, London SW1. Performances are Monday through Saturday at 7:45 PM; 8 PM from April 23rd. Matinees are Tuesdays at 3 PM and Saturdays at 4 PM. For tickets contact the box office at 0870-060-2313
