Due to huge demand, an additional week of performances have been added in Melbourne for the Olivier and Tony Award-winning comedy smash THE 39 STEPS. This extraordinary production will now play at the Comedy Theatre, Melbourne from 10 September to 4 October, with no extension possible.
Directed by acclaimed theatre-maker Damien Ryan and starring four of Australia’s most beloved talents – Lisa McCune (Blue Heelers, Sea Patrol, The King and I), Ian Stenlake (Sea Patrol, Stingers) and The Umbilical Brothers (David Collins and Shane Dundas) – THE 39 STEPS is making its way across Australia in an unmissable national tour this year.
Mix Alfred Hitchcock’s classic spy thriller with a dash of Monty Python-style chaos, and you get this turbo-charged comedy. After thrilling more than three million fans across 39 countries, from London’s West End to Broadway, this international sensation, adapted by Patrick Barlow from the novel by John Buchan, is reimagined and coming to Australia.
Join the suave but unsuspecting Richard Hannay as he finds himself framed for murder and tangled in a web of spies, secrets and seductive strangers. To clear his name, he must outrun the law, outwit international agents and survive a string of increasingly absurd adventures.
In just 100 minutes of non-stop action, four fearless actors play 130 roles in a dazzling display of quick changes, inventive stagecraft and high-energy hilarity.
“We have always loved the stage adaptation of THE 39 STEPS and are thrilled to bring a new production of this inventive, laugh-out-loud tour de force for four actors to Australia. We are very excited to have assembled such an amazing cast to bring this show to life,” said producers Neil Gooding and Alex Woodward.
Book now for THE 39 STEPS, a gripping fast-paced comedy thriller that will leave you breathless with laughter.
