John Buchan's The 39 Steps - memorably filmed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1935 - is thrillingly adapted for the stage. Legendary scenes include the chase on the Flying Scotsman, the escape on the Forth Bridge, the first theatrical bi-plane crash ever staged and the death-defying (or nearly!) finale at the London Palladium! With four actors playing a minimum of one hundred and thirty nine roles, The 39 Steps is the most astonishing theatrical tour de force of the year.
