A THEATRICAL tour de force that has been seen by more than three million people is coming to the Glasshouse in November for just two nights.
The 39 Steps is a fast-paced, side-splitting comedy featuring more than a hundred characters played by four actors.
Based on the 1935 Hitchcock spy thriller movie and novel by John Buchan, the stage production is currently the longest-running comedy in the West End and winner of major theatrical prizes.
Handsome hero Richard Hannay meets a mysterious woman, who reveals a plot to smuggle military secrets out of the country. That night, she is found murdered in his apartment. With the police and international spies hot on his heels, Hannay races to solve the mystery of the man with the missing finger. His heart-racing adventures involve death-defying escapes from planes, trains and automobiles with the beautiful blonde bombshell Pamela by his side.
Paying homage to the spy genre as well as other classic Hitchcock films, the spectacularly funny and cleverly performed stage adaptation of The 39 Steps was hailed as being “theatre at its finest”.
The play will be on at the Glasshouse on Tuesday 5 November and Wednesday 6 November at 8pm. Tickets are available from the Glasshouse and cost $49.50 adult, $45 concession, $41.50 under 21/student, with discounts for Glasshouse members.
