Patrick Barlow’s comic
adaptation of John Buchan’s classic spy thriller has been adapted into a
spoof of the book and the Hitchcock film. The 'unstageable' thriller is
staged, with four cast members playing a minimum of 150 roles. The story
revolves around an innocent man who learns too much about a dangerous spy
ring and is then pursued across Scotland, before returning to London to
foil the villain’s dastardly plans. The 39 Steps contains every
single legendary scene from the movie—including the chase on the Flying
Scotsman, the escape on the Forth Bridge, the first theatrical bi-plane
crash ever staged, and the finale in the London Palladium. |
