Season 4, 2023 - "The 39 Steps"


Thursday, 10 August 2023 to Sunday, 20 August 2023


Adapted by Patrick Barlow from the novel by John Buchan

A Highway 1 Production directed by Michael Jewell


Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python and you have “The 39 Steps” – a fast-paced whodunit for anyone who loves the magic of theatre.


In “The 39 Steps”, a man with a boring life meets a woman with a thick accent who says she’s a spy. When he takes her home, she is murdered. Soon after, a mysterious organization called “The 39 Steps” is hot on the man’s trail in a nationwide manhunt that climaxes in a death-defying finale!


From the team that brought “The Lady in the Van” to The Basin Theatre in 2022 comes this unforgettable evening of wildly-inventive stagecraft and pure pleasure.
