By: Gabrielle Sierra Jan. 16, 2009
Auckland Theatre Company in association with the Court Theatre presents The Thirty-Nine Steps by John Buchan, adapted by Ross Gumbley.
12 February - 07 March 2009
They say there are no more heroes. They haven't met Richard Hannay yet.
Director: Ross Gumbley
Starring: Lisa Chappell, Stephen Papps, Cameron Rhodes
Design: Tony Geddes, Elizabeth Whiting, Brad Gledhill
Four fearless actors play 139 roles in 100 madcap minutes in this inventive adaptation of John Buchan's classic British spy thriller.
Our handsome all-action hero Richard Hannay, complete with stiff upper lip and a miraculous knack of getting himself out of sticky situations, encounters dastardly murders, doublecrossing secret agents and, of course, devastatingly beautiful women, in a race against time to save the British Empire.
Buchan's THE THIRTY-NINE STEPS has inspired numerous adaptations including Alfred Hitchcock's acclaimed 1935 film.
