The 39 Steps

Close

This event has passed.

Alfred Hitchcock’s classic spy thriller, The 39 Steps, is back after delighting over 3 million people worldwide with its quintessentially plucky spirit and dashing sense of fun!

Brilliantly and hilariously recreated for the stage, the smash hit Olivier and Tony Award Winning comedy is touring the UK after nearly 10 years in London’s West End, taking Broadway by storm and  playing in 39 different countries across the globe.

Follow the incredible adventures of our handsome hero Richard Hannay, complete with stiff-upper-lip, British gung-ho and pencil moustache as he encounters dastardly murders, double-crossing secret agents, and, of course, devastatingly beautiful women.

This wonderfully inventive and gripping comedy thriller features four fearless actors, playing 139 roles in 100 minutes of fast-paced fun and thrilling action.

Reviews

★★★★
Stairway to comic heaven. A delightful new production. Intrigue and romance with flat-out comedy
Daily Mail

★★★★
After nearly a decade in the West End, the fun and madness of The 39 Steps is back on a UK tour. Joyful theatre to watch. Mix a classic spy novel with the genius of Alfred Hitchcock, add a dash of Monty Python and you have The 39 Steps
Broadway World

★★★★★
Delicious adaptation, A thoroughly sweet show. Physical theatre at its best. An evening of non-stop fun.
The Review Hub

★★★★★
Always tongue-in-cheek, the show is thrillingly funny and villainously clever. The 39 Steps is a must see
The Spy in the Stalls

★★★★
A touch of Morecambe and Wise’s The Play What I Wrote and a hint of Tommy Cooper. A glorious sense of fun. A full-on parody of the thriller genre, packed with hammy characterisations, amusing visual gags and plenty of cross dressing.
