Adapted by Patrick Barlow From the novel by John Buchan. From the movie by Alfred Hitchcock Licensed by ITV Global Entertainment Limited. And an original concept by Simon Corble and Nobby Dimon. By Arrangement with Fiery Angel Limited. Britain on the brink of war! Foreign agents on our shores! Can Richard Hannay, innocent man on the run, evade the police, get the girl, and save the country from a ring of murderous spies?

Six plucky actors, who between them will be taking on more than 50 roles, will bring Alfred Hitchcock’s epic cinematic masterpiece to the stage in a visual and emotional feast of drama, villainy, adventure and pure silliness. The production includes the famous chase on the Flying Scotsman train, a scene on the Forth Bridge and the world’s first ever on-stage ‘plane crash…Described as “a delightfully theatrical tour-de-force”, the 39 Steps took the West End by storm playing at the Criterion Theatre, London for over 9 years. This is a must-see for all ages.

19th April – 21st April @ 7:30pm

22nd April @ 3:30pm and 7:30pm At The Great Hall, Alleyn’s school, Townley Road, SE22 8SU

Thursday 13 April: Norman Rockwell and the Heyday of the Illustrator

8pm-9pm. Art critics dismissed Rockwell’s folksy images of middle American for decades as oversentimental and banal. However his reputation has soared in recent years as a new generation comes to appreciate his humanity and inventiveness and he is revered by film directors George Lucas and Steven Spielberg for his brilliant storytelling. At their best, his paintings reconcile mid-western values with progressive ideals and artistic traditionalism with optimism about the modern world. This lecture traces the roots of Rockwell’s art back to the 19th century work of Winslow Homer and Howard Pyle. Lecturer: Rupert Dickens Also available to members and non-members live on Zoom. info@theartssocietydulwich.org.uk.
