Alfred Hitchcock's early film based on John Buchan's spy thriller, still shot in England, has always been a special treat for die-hard crime connoisseurs. But now Patrick Barlow, working from an original concept by Simon Corble and Nobby Dimon, has conjured from it the perfect theatrical treat: four actors in more than a hundred roles take us on Richard Hannay's adventurous journey from London to the Scottish Highlands, where the would-be murderer flees not only to prove his innocence but also to uncover the "39 Steps" spy ring.
None of the almost legendary scenes were left out: Neither the ride in the "Flying Scotsman" and the escape over the Forth Bridge, nor the famous handcuff scene and the finale in the London Palladium. With subtle irony and vigorous theatrical action, the story is told of Hannay, innocently involved in a murder, who eventually succeeds in taking on the head of the enemy spy organisation and saving his country. Great fun for all crime and comedy fans!
