Fast-Paced Crime Comedy The 39 Steps Hits the Stage This April
An unexpected evening guest, a cryptic warning, and a death that comes far too soon—Richard Hannay's orderly life is about to take a sharp turn into the illogical. No sooner does he set foot on the first shaky step than the next one gives way beneath him. Before he knows it, he's caught in a story where every detail suddenly seems suspicious. At the heart of the mystery lies an enigmatic organization: The 39 Steps. What are they plotting? Unknown. What do they set in motion? A wild blend of suspense, pursuit, and surprisingly comic moments. The line between peril and slapstick is razor-thin here.
The 39 Steps is a fast-paced crime comedy brimming with wit and a healthy dose of irony. A night at the theater that proves how quickly supposed certainties can crumble—and how entertaining it can be to chase down the unknown.
"Witty… lively… and an absolute must for Hitchcock fans. The perfect show for Berlin's Kriminal Theater." —Urs Schleiff
