The 39 Steps

Author(s): Adapted by Patrick Barlow, from the novel by John Buchan, from the movie by Alfred Hitchcock, licensed by ITV Global Entertainment Ltd and an original concept by Simon Corble and Nobby Dimon Company: Theatre by the Lake and Stephen Joseph Theatre

A fast-paced mystery for anyone who loves the magic of theatre.

This Olivier Award-winning treat is packed with non-stop laughs, some good old-fashioned romance and a whole host of colourful characters, played by a cast of four.

Iconic scenes include the chase on the Flying Scotsman, the first ever theatrical biplane crash and a death-defying (well nearly) finale.
