'Clever, very funny, imaginative and brilliantly acted'
The Guardian
'A joyous version of the Hitchcock classic'
Sunday Times
John Buchan’s the 39 Steps – memorably filmed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1935 – continues its sensational run at the Criterion Theatre.
Literally nothing has been cut from this hilarious and spectacular 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 stage, the rather provocative 'bedroom' sequence and the death-defying (or nearly!) finale at the London Palladium!
With four actors playing a minimum of one hundred and thirty-nine roles, the 39 Steps proves to be the most astonishing theatrical tour de force of this, or any other, decade.
