The 39 Steps Tickets – Review
The 39 Steps is a murder mystery based on the thriller novel from 1935 by Alfred Hitchcock. Three film versions of the book have been made. Only four actors play all the 150 characters.
The story follows Richard Hanney, who is bored and dissatisfied with his London life. The gentlemen's clubs, plays and moving pictures just don't do it for him anymore. However, his life undergoes a drastic change on the discovery of a German femme fatale - dead in his living room. Hanney goes on the run, without knowing who or what he is fleeing from. Life for Richard Hannay is about to get very interesting indeed...
The director of the latest theatre version (adapted by Patrick Barlow) of Hitchcock’s classic 1935 thriller and John Buchan’s 1915 novel made a conscious decision when transfering this play to the London stage, following its move from the West Yorkshire Playhouse. She decided to tickle the sensibilities of her audience, playing on a characteristic mixture of London courtesy and impatience in sketching a social caricature that is both tongue-in-cheek and charmingly nostalgic.
The result is The 39 Steps – a rollicking and breathless adventure that trails the tweedy Richard Hannay (John Hopkins) as he is pursued by police from his genteel London apartment to the rugged Scottish Highlands for a crime that he did not commit.
The triumph of the play is its ingenuity in maximising a minimal stage set with a slap-stick Fawlty Towers style of physical comedy that is still snappy enough to pull off mime, shadow puppetry and recurrent use of the same props.
The 39 Steps has a haphazard and raffish feel to it – as if it were put together in under 20 minutes. It is no less loveable for it. Indeed, its strongest asset is its unpredictability and the sharp comic timing of its multi-talented cast.
