'The 39 Steps' 

by John Buchan - Adapted by Patrick Barlow

From an original concept by Simon Corble and Nobby Dimon

27th - 29th June 2019

Synopsis

This version of “The 39 Steps”, based on John Buchan’s novel and Alfred Hitchcock’s iconic movie, follows the fortunes of Richard Hannay - an all-action hero with stiff upper lip and a miraculous knack for getting out of sticky situations.

This tongue-in-cheek adaptation - complete with murders, shootings, train chases, plane crashes, trilbied heavies, and villains with little fingers missing - makes for a fast paced and thrilling adventure.
