ACTORS is pleased to present “The 39 Steps,â€? a murder mystery turned on its head. “The 39 Stepsâ€? is a romping, farcical comedy of a classic spy story featuring four actors, but multiple roles. The 1935 “Hitchcockâ€? movie was adapted from a 1915 novel by John Buchan.

Patrick Barlow brought the adaptation to London’s West End and to Broadway. “The 39 Stepsâ€? received Olivier, Drama Desk and Tony Awards.
