This comic adaptation of John Buchan’s classic spy thriller has been adapted into a spoof of both the book and the Hitchcock film.  A cast of four play a minimum of 150 roles to tell a story that revolves around an innocent man who learns too much about a dangerous spy ring and is then pursued across Scotland, before returning to London to foil the villain’s dastardly plans.

 “The 39 Steps” is currently on at the Criterion in London, where it has been playing since September 2006.  The first production was directed by Fiona Buffini and produced on stage by North Country Theatre in April 1996 at the Georgian Theatre, Richmond, North Yorkshire.  The production received its American Premiere at the Huntington Theatre Company in Boston.
