Combine a film masterpiece by Alfred Hitchcock with a juicy spy novel and add a large splash of Monty Python humor. The result? A fast paced whodunit with four versatile actors portraying more than 50 roles! London, 1935. The rather dull Richard Hannay encounters a woman who claims to be a spy. When she is suddenly murdered, Richard finds himself the focus of a nationwide manhunt led by a mysterious organization called “The 39 Steps.” This play is a hilarious comedy full of dazzling, inventive stagecraft and virtuoso performances that will have you rolling in the aisles until the death-defying, climatic finale.
The talented cast includes Marley Bauer as Richard Hannay, Melanie Mino as Annabela /Margaret & Pamela, Chris Braden as Clown #1 and Katelyn Slater as Clown #2.
Director, Phil Johnson, shared, 'The 39 Steps' is an absolute joy. Get ready.
It's a wonderful takeoff on the spy/adventure films from the mid-century that we've all come to love and remember fondly, like the original 1935 Hitchcock movie. This is an explosion of playfulness: taking that idea, and letting all of our imaginations go wild with it.
I am a firm believer in comedy being something that lightens our load, and this is one of those. SRT and I are so lucky to have this incredibly talented, hilarious cast. I hope you enjoy this as much as we have putting it together for you. Buckle up!”
