John Buchan`s “The 39 Steps”

This is Patrick Barlow`s Olivier Award winning stage adaptation, based on John Buchan`s gripping whodunit – memorably filmed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1935 – is now in its fourth year at the Criterion Theatre in the West End. Nothing has been cut from this hilarious 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, it`s the most astonishing theatrical tour de force of the year.
