THE 39 STEPS CELEBRATES!
The 39 Steps celebrated its 5th year at the Criterion Theatre this week. The cast of only four and a select guest list raised a glass to the West Ends longest running comedy.
Although the story deals with serious issues, it is a little tongue in cheek and contains an element of humour. This action packed production stars 4 actors with more than 139 roles to play. The 1935 Hitchcock play stars Richard Hannay, a British hero who has uncovered a plot by the Germans. The Germans intend to assassinate the Greek Prime Minster and steal the military plans to destroy Britain if war brakes out. With his pencil moustache and stiff upper lip, the hero Hannay encounters double crossing agents, beautiful women and murders. This comedy thriller is a fun fast -paced thrilling play not to be missed. It is guaranteed to leave you on the edge of your seat!
