The 39 Steps
Now playing at the
Cort Theatre, 138 West 48th Street
On sale through August 2008
John Buchan's gripping whodunit - memorably filmed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1935 - is thrillingly adapted for the stage and the West End hit now opens in the US.
Nothing has been cut from this hilarious and spectacular version of Britain's most spell-binding thriller - legendary scenes include The Chase on the Flying Scotsman, The Escape on the Forth Bridge, The First Theatrical Bi-Plane Crash ever staged and the death-defying (or nearly!) finale at the London Palladium.
With four actors playing a minimum of one hundred and thirty-nine roles, The 39 Steps proves to be the most astonishing theatrical tour de force of the year.
Spies, Blonde and a Guy Go North by Northwest
Absurdly enjoyable, gleefully theatrical
Once this fast-paced ride leaves the station, you don't want to get off
An impeccably crafted trifle
A giddy display of theatrical invention
