"What are the 39 Steps? The 39 Steps? I tell you Mr Hannay. You will never, EVER KNOW!"

​

A shot rings out in a West End theatre, a mysterious woman cries out, and Richard Hannay, bored bachelor and reluctant adventurer, is dragged into a death-defying race against time across the British Isles to unearth the secrets of the 39 Steps.

​

A cast of four actors play over 150 characters in this fast-paced and hilarious tale of an ordinary man on an extraordinary adventure. The 39 Steps contains every single legendary scene from the award winning Hitchcock classic - including the chase on the Flying Scotsman, the escape on the Forth Bridge, the first theatrical bi-plane crash ever staged and the sensational death-defying finale at the London Palladium.
