Northern Comedy Theatre presents a local production of classic spy thriller The 39 Steps at St Helens Theatre Royal on Jul7 27-28.

This comedy thriller features four of St Helens’ born and bred talent, all of whom are no strangers to performing on the Theatre Royal stage, including workshop-trained Benjamin Engelen who starred in Regal Entertainments 2013 smash hit production of Bouncers: The Remix and in Liverpool Empire’s 2014 Christmas panto Aladdin.

Starring alongside Benjamin is Harry Moore whom audiences will recognise from Sky 1’s Little Crackers as well as countless Theatre Royal shows including 2013’s Peter Pan.

Actress, dancer and opera singer Kathryn Chambers (Alan Ayckbourn’s Seasons Greetings) portrays three different love interests in the show.

The object of her affections will be Tom Platt (Cabaret, St Helens Theatre Royal’s production of Ciggie Run, West End production of The Play That Goes Wrong and UK Tour of Peter Pan Goes Wrong) who leads the cast as Richard Hannay and also co-produces the show.

The four play 50 roles in 100 minutes of fun and action.
