January 6–31, 2010

Hitchcock meets hilarious in this madcap comic thriller, a juicy spy story mixed with a dash of Monty Python mayhem. A young man bored with his life falls in with a mysterious woman claiming to be a secret agent and soon he’s the target of a cross-country manhunt with a shadowy organization called “The 39 Steps” on his trail. Four ridiculously talented actors take on over 150 roles in a plot packed with intrigue, international danger, an on-stage plane crash, old-fashioned romance, high-spirited comedy and a death-defying finale!

This Drama Desk-honored comedy has been a huge hit in New York and with good reason: It’s a stitch! The inventive stagecraft and clever take on film noir will have you rolling in the aisles.
