A whisky, two stubborn singletons bound by handcuffs, and a chase from London to the Scottish Highlands, "The 39 Steps" takes a Hitchcock masterpiece based on the ground-breaking spy novel by John Buchan and transforms it into a theatrical spectacle of comedy, action, romance, and fresh fish.
Adapted by Patrick Barlow for the West End and Broadway, this Olivier and double Tony award winning play has dozens of characters โ all played by a ridiculously talented cast of four โ with sound effects created live by an on-stage foley artist. The play is a pastiche of Hitchcockโs 1935 film (and his other works), creating laugh-out-loud comedy from witty dialogue โ often unchanged from Hitchcockโs writers โ and inventive stagecraft, on a stripped-back set in the intimate surroundings of Adelaideโs Little Theatre.
"On the surface, itโs a classic thriller set in the mid-1930s, when the world was again frightened of war โ terrified of whatever The 39 Steps could be,โ says director Mark Wickett, โyet when you look beneath that menace, the two main characters are just lonely individuals caught up in something much bigger than themselves, trying to deny their mutual attraction."
CAST
Thomas Midena, Imogen Deller-Evans, Emily Branford, Maxwell Whigham and Angela Short.
