The 39 Steps Synopsis &
Storyline
Mix an Alfred Hitchcock masterpiece with
a juicy spy novel, add a dash of vintage Monty Python and you have
The 39 Steps, a hilarious whodunit, part espionage thriller
and part slapstick comedy, adapted for the stage from the famous
film and novel.
Shots ring out across a crowded theatre and Richard Hannay is lured
into a world of intrigue by a mysterious woman claiming to be a spy.
When she winds up dead in his flat, he flees London with the police
hot on his trail.
A runaway hit in London and the winner of the 2007 Olivier Award for
Best New Comedy, this tongue-in-cheek thriller features four actors
taking on more than 150 roles.
