Take a popular spy novel, amplify it with Hitchcock's romantic imagination, add a dash of Monty Python, a plane crash, a car chase and a steam train; portray the cast of over 100 characters with a handful of actors and produce it all on a shoestring! That is The 39 Steps!

In The 39 Steps, a man with a boring life meets a woman with a thick accent who says she is a spy. When he takes her home, she is murdered. Soon he is at the centre of a nationwide manhunt that climaxes in a death-defying finale! A riotous blend of virtuoso performances and wildly inventive stagecraft, The 39 Steps amounts to an unforgettable evening of pure pleasure!
