D I R E C TO R ’ S N O T E S – J . R . S U L L I VA N Suspense awaits and adventure abounds once a worldweary cynic named Richard Hannay decides to escape the ennui of his humdrum life by going to a West End show. The fact that he is thrust into the thick of a murder plot, an espionage ring, an insidious plan to steal a vital state secret and a subsequent chase on rail and road over the highlands and through the moors and back to London again makes him a classic Alfred Hitchcock hero, as well – in fact, the prototype for the wrong man on the run in a suspense thriller. Hitchcock knew it when he set his screenwriters to work on a John Buchan page-turner called The 39 Steps back in 1935 – and thus was born a genre in film that has been visited in countless variations since (especially by Hitchcock himself, in films like The Wrong Man and North By Northwest). But wait a minute – speeding trains, car chases, the Scottish highlands? We are about a 39 Steps for the stage, not the celluloid world of a movie house. Enter a team of British talents named Simon Corble and Nobby Dimon, Patrick Barlow and a production team headed by director Maria Aitken. The result: a spectacular reimagining of the original material that takes the absurdly delightful aim of putting the film on stage, setting but four actors on a do-or-die race to save civilization. With a respectful nod to John Buchan and a love for Hitchcock’s classic take, four intrepid souls act it all on an essentially bare stage, with a few props and road boxes, supplied by their own wit, endurance and improvisational skills to see them through. Absurd? Impossible? Can’t be done? This is the theater, ladies and gentlemen; this is the place for the impossible, for magic. A love for that is what Alfred Hitchcock’s THE 39 STEPS is all about, and what you are about to see tonight is a hardy troupe that believes. Happily, the event is comic from top to bottom. Someone – I can’t remember whom, but I’ve never forgotten the message – once said to me that all theater is fundamentally comic. “After all,” said this artistic advisor, “these people onstage are pretending to be somebody else. It’s ridiculous. But you’ve got to get a grip on the beautiful absurdity of it all. The trick is getting the audience to laugh when you want them to – and not to laugh when you don’t.” Yep. Not so easy, that one; an elusive butterfly. But worth all the trouble to chase, especially, for me, with such a gifted cast, believing like the actors they play believe in the beauty of the realized theatrical moment. It is fundamentally comic, and it is to be celebrated as an act of the endlessly resourceful human imagination. This is, after all, what makes us unique and genuinely surprising. I’d like to give thanks for THE 39 STEPS: a glorious idea and a wondrous script. I’d like to invite us all to add a deeply appreciative cheer for laughter itself. I ask you, where would we be without it? J. R. Sullivan Director 30 December 2010

P L A Y W R I G H T B I O G R A P H Y – PAT R I C K B A R L OW Born on March 18, 1947, in England, Patrick Barlow is a veteran British actor, comedian and writer. He is most famous for his work with the National Theatre of Brent (NTOB), which he founded in 1980. Since the company’s inception, Mr. Barlow has filled the roles of Artistic Director and Chief Executive, under the pseudonym Desmond Olivier Dingle. The two-man theater has produced successful satirical pieces ever since and, although Mr. Barlow’s sidekick position has changed hands several times, the most famous holder is Jim Broadbent. Among the company’s most popular theatrical productions are: THE CHARGE OF THE LIGHT BRIGADE, ZULU!, THE BLACK HOLE OF CALCUTTA, WAGNER’S RING CYCLE, THE MESSIAH, THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO SEX, THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD, LOVE UPON THE THRONE: THE CHARLES AND DIANA STORY (which received an Olivier Award nomination) and THE WONDER OF SEX. Also with NTOB, he wrote the radio scripts “All the World’s a Globe” (which won the Sony Radio Award and Premier Ondas Award for Best European Comedy) and “The Complete and Utter History of the Mona Lisa” (which won the Sony Gold Award for Best Comedy and the New York Festival Gold Award for Best Comedy). He has also written extensively for film and television, his credits in these media include: Messiah; Van Gogh (which won the Prix Futura in the Berlin Film Festival); Revolution! (which won Best Comedy Film in the Jerusalem Film Festival); The Young Visiters (which starred Jim Broadbent and Hugh Laurie); The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole; The Ghost of Faffner Hall; Scarfe on Sex; Mighty Movements from World History; True Adventures of Christopher Columbus; Queen of the East and Massive Landmarks of the 20th Century. The multi-talented Mr. Barlow has also made a number of appearances as an actor, on stage and screen. His major motion picture credits include: Shakespeare in Love, Notting Hill, The Girl from Rio, Bridget Jones’ Diary and Nanny McPhee. His adaptation of the classic Alfred Hitchcock film, The 39 Steps, earned him the 2007 Olivier Award and a What’s Onstage Award for Best New Comedy. The play is based upon John Buchan’s 1915 novel of the same name, and Mr. Barlow drew his inspiration from a pre-existing theatrical interpretation by Simon Corble and Nobby Dimon, which had already achieved some success during small-scale tours of England. That version, however, was heavily influenced by the novel rather than the film, and producer Edward Snape saw the need for a new angle that would attract a larger audience. Thus, when he asked Mr. Barlow to write a new adaptation, the artist chose, as his principal source, the film, which he deemed more innately dramatic and iconographic. This adaptation debuted in 2005 and has since traveled all over the world, gaining great acclaim both regionally and in theatrical hotspots such as London’s West End and Broadway. The Guardian’s Brian Logan described the West End production like so: “Patrick Barlow’s adaptation bears the hallmarks of his work with the National Theatre of Brent, in that it tells an epic tale while comically accentuating theatre’s unsuitability for the task.” Audiences continue to have much chaotic fun to look forward to in this comedic keystone of Patrick Barlow’s career.

N OV E L I S T B I O G R A P H Y – J O H N B U C H A N John Buchan, the first Baron Tweedsmuir of Elsfield, author and governor general of Canada (1935 – 1940), was born on August 26, 1875, at York Place, Perth, Scotland. His parents, John Buchan and Helen née Masterson, raised him in a mining town called Pathhead, Fife, and he and his siblings (including a sister, Anna Buchan, who would later write under the pen name O. Douglass), summered in the southern Borders region with his grandparents. These childhood years in pastoral Scotland would provide much inspiration for his later writings. Buchan’s education was somewhat unconventional, beginning at a dame’s school, and continuing with grammar school in 1888, followed by Glasgow University (where he began to study literature and write in earnest), and finally concluding at Oxford (where he studied law). The transition to England was difficult for the young Buchan who experienced considerable homesickness. Nevertheless, in 1900, he moved to London to apprentice in law firms. Then, two years later, when the Boer War had ended, he became private secretary to Lord Milner in South Africa, where he traveled and worked for a time and gained inspiration for such works as The African Colony (1903). After returning to London, he became a partner with the publisher Thomas Arthur Nelson, and married Susan Grosvenor in 1907. Between 1908 and 1918, the couple had four children. In 1911, he became the conservative candidate for Peebles and Selkirk counties, marking the beginning of his political career. During this time, he also wrote several biographies and lost his father to natural causes. The coming war years would herald the deaths of several more members of Buchan’s family and friends, bringing great sadness to his life. In 1915, he himself joined the fight as a war correspondent for The Times and served as an officer for the Intelligence Corps in France until early 1917. It was these experiences that also prompted such important writings as Britain’s War By Land, Greenmantle (1916), The Purpose of War (1916) and his most famous work of fiction, The Thirty-Nine Steps (1915). The tumult and trauma of World War I caused Buchan to yearn for the peace of his old rural life, and he consequently moved part of his family to the manor house Elsfield in 1919 where he wrote such works as Mr. Standfast (1919), The Path of the King (1921) and Huntingtower (1922). After six years in relative isolation, however, Buchan became restless again and re-entered politics; from 1933 to 1934 he served as His Majesty’s High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, and was elected a member of parliament in 1927. In 1935, his most important political break came with his appointment to the position of Canada’s Governor General. The accompanying move proved the perfect combination of escape into the beauty of nature and involvement in world affairs for Buchan. While thoroughly enjoying the land, which he described as “simply Scotland on an extended scale,” he also worked closely with US President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Mackenzie King in their 1930s peace initiatives. Before his sudden death, set in motion by a shaving accident, in 1940, Buchan and his wife created the Governor General’s Awards, which remain an important Canadian literary award and a testament to the author and statesman’s tremendous contributions to his time.

F I L M M A K E R B I O G R A P H Y – A L F R E D H I TC H C O C K There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it. -Alfred Hitchcock Born August 13, 1899, Alfred Joseph Hitchcock was the son of London greengrocer William Hitchcock and his wife Emma. He was raised strictly Roman Catholic and was educated at St. Ignatius Jesuit College, the School of Engineering and Navigation (where he studied mechanics, electricity, acoustics and navigation), and the University of London (where he studied art). During the 1920s, Hitchcock gained his first inroad in the world of filmmaking when he took a job at Paramount’s Famous Players-Lasky studio in London and began to learn scripting, editing and art direction. Through good luck and skill, the young Hitchcock also gained his first solo directing project in 1925, an English-German collaboration called The Pleasure Garden. The experience of filming in Germany is a likely contributing factor to the decidedly Expressionistic character of his later films. It was also around this period that Hitchcock met his future wife, Alma Reville, a woman who became arguably his most important unofficial collaborator. The two married in 1926 and remained so until his death in 1980. They had one daughter, Patricia Hitchcock. Before his famous move to the United States in 1940, Hitchcock directed several renowned films and developed a number of his trademark conventions. In his breakthrough film The Lodger (1926), for instance, he originated the classic scenario of a falsely accused innocent embroiled in a maze of intrigue, and in Blackmail (1929), he first used “subjective sound,” in which the audience hears only the twisted perceptions of a particular character’s mind. Likewise, in Murder (1930), he first presented his recurrent suggestion of a link between sexuality and violence. The 39 Steps (1935), also comes from this period and is, as biographer Charles Ramirez Berg notes,“a stylish and efficiently told chase film brimming with exciting incidents and memorable characters” and an expression of the mature Hichcockian style. The great director entered Hollywood with a bang through his classics Rebecca (1940) and Foreign Correspondent (1940). Another contemporary masterpiece is Shadow of a Doubt (1943), which probes family relationships, questions the very foundation of middle-class America and points to another persistent theme, that of feminine sacrifice of identity within the American household. Strangers on a Train (1951) breached a similarly taboo topic in its noticeable homoerotic subtext. The period from 1950 – 1960 is considered one of Hitchcock’s most creative and ingenious, other films of the time include: Dial M for Murder (1954); Rear Window (1954); Vertigo (1958) and North by Northwest (1959). He kicked off the new decade with what is probably his most acclaimed film, Psycho (1960), and continued to explore and expand the themes of murder, evil and psychological disruption in the years to come. Hitchcock received many awards and accolades during and after his lifetime, including the 1979 AFI Life Achievement Award, and the tremendous honor of knighthood bestowed by the queen in 1979 shortly before his death on April 29, 1980. Although he died with his final film, The Short Night, still unfinished, the young collaborating screenwriter David Freeman published it after his death and the tremendous and iconic body of work that “The Master of Suspense” left behind makes him immortal.
