- The 39 Steps novel by John Buchan and adapted by Patrick Barlow
Combining spy thriller with farcical comedy and ingenious theatrical invention,
The 39 Steps is an engaging, fast-paced whodunit that celebrates the magic
of theater. Closely following the storyline of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1935
film, the play demands the sort of inventive, creative staging Joel Sass is
known for. Most remarkably, the play’s more than 150 characters are brought
to life by a cast of only four actors! With sly nods to the art and tricks
of live theater, The 39 Steps is a hilarious theatrical experience.

her siblings. Is she willing to leave her life behind -- even betray her sisters
-- to find her own freedom? When the littlest sister disappears, it's up to
