Patrick Barlow’s dazzling adaptation of Hitchcock’s iconic thriller tosses audiences headlong into a whirlwind of espionage, wit, and sheer theatrical invention energetically pulled off by just four fearless performers. When the thoroughly unsuspecting Richard Hannay is dragged into a deadly conspiracy, he must flee across Britain, dodging a gloriously exaggerated band of spies and relentless law enforcement at every turn. Quick-fire costume changes, razor-sharp dialogue, ingenious staging, and a surprise romance round out a production that crackles with intensity from the first scene to the last. The 39 Steps is a comic thrill ride you won’t want to miss.
