Hitchcock returns: Mix
a Hitchcock masterpiece
with a juicy spy novel, add
a dash of Monty Python
and you have Alfred Hitchcock’s The 39 Steps. Seeking
a frivolous night out at the
theater, Richard Hannay
is lured into a world of
intrigue by a mysterious
woman claiming to be a
spy. When she winds up
dead in his flat, he flees
London with the police
hot on his trail. This is a
classic portrayal of one
man’s flight from wrong
accusation through a series
of misadventures and old-fashioned romance. The
39 Steps features a cast of
four actors who, against
all odds, breathlessly and
hilariously attempt to
reenact all of the characters, locations and famous
scenes in Hitchcock’s 1935
film thriller with just a few
props and a lot of theatrical
ingenuity and split-second
quick changes. Ben Brant-ley of The New York Times
called the production,
“Absurdly enjoyable!” June
