The 39 Steps DETAILS and TICKETS
June 16-26
By Patrick Barlow, Based on the novel by John Buchan, From the movie by Alfred Hitchcock

A farcical homage to the Alfred Hitchcock classic suspense film. The hilarity ensues as four actors perform the entire movie, playing dozens of characters, and creating trains, planes, and hotel rooms out of simple theatrical props. An “absurdly enjoyable, gleefully theatrical” tour-de-force... (New York Times).
