Genre: Play
Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python and you have THE 39 STEPS, a fast-paced whodunit for anyone who loves the magic of theatre! THE 39 STEPS has been a huge success in London (where it won the 2007 Olivier Award for BEST COMEDY) and now it has audiences howling with laughter right here in New York!
In THE 39 STEPS, a man with a boring life meets a woman with a thick accent who says she's a spy. Soon, a mysterious organization called "The 39 Steps" is hot on the man's trail in a nationwide manhunt packed with nonstop laughs, over 150 zany characters (played by a ridiculously talented cast of 4), an on-stage
plane crash, handcuffs, missing fingers and some good old-fashioned romance!
