A THEATRICAL ADVENTURE THAT’S HITCHCOCK AT TOP SPEED.

Pulled into a web of intrigue and deceit, accidental hero Richard Hannay must evade shadowy organisations and femme fatales, corrupt constables and frisky farmers’ wives. Twisted into knots by skullduggery and suspicion, Hannay must solve the mystery of the ‘39 Steps’ and save the motherland before it is too late…

Based on Alfred Hitchcock’s film version of John Buchan’s 1915 adventure novel, The 39 Steps is equal parts farce, clowning masterclass and heart-stopping noir.

So strap yourself in as four actors perform 139 roles in 100 minutes at breakneck hilarity.

“An hilarious tour de farce” The Australian

“A modern comic masterpiece” InDaily

“This is comic theatre at it’s best” Kryztoff
