LEGENDARY WEST END COMEDY THE 39 STEPS COMES TO MELBOURNE

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!

“Theatre at its finest...absurdly enjoyable!” The New York Times

After record-breaking seasons in the West End and on Broadway, winning two Tony Awards, and the Olivier Award for Best Comedy, The 39 Steps comes to Melbourne for a strictly limited season. Don’t miss this much-loved gem, packed with nonstop laughs, over 150 zany characters (played by a ridiculously talented cast of four), an onstage plane crash, handcuffs, missing fingers, and some good old-fashioned romance!

From the creative team that brought you last year’s smash hit, Death of a Salesman, join us for a rollicking good night at the theatre! An evening of heroic tales and hearty laughs!

Directed by Charlie Cousins (ABC’s The Doctor Blake Mysteries) and featuring Sorab Kaikobad (ABC’s The Newsreader), Jackson McGovern (Australian Shakespeare Company’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream), Yvette Turner (Hearth Theatre’s Death of a Salesman), and Charlie Cousins.

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, a mysterious organization called ‘The 39 Steps’ is hot on the trail with a nationwide manhunt culminating in a death-defying finale. A riotous blend of virtuoso performances and wildly inventive stagecraft, The 39 Steps delivers an irresistible evening of pure theatrical magic.

The creative team includes Eloise Kent (Set & Costume Designer), Niklas Pajanti (Lighting Designer), Justin Gardam (Sound Designer), Genevieve Davidson (Stage Manager) and Emma Parfitt (Production Manager & Associate Producer).
