The 39 Steps
adapted by patrick barlow from an original concept by simon corble & Nobby dimon
An Amateur Production By Arrangement with Origin Theatrical on behalf of Samuel French Ltd.
AUDITION information
This is an extremely fast-paced, physical 4 hander, with 3 of the ensemble playing multiple characters. We will be looking for actors who are comfortable with clowning and slapstick and who have excellent comic timing.
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! This two-time Tony and Drama Desk Award-winning treat is 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!
Please note that this production will be outdoors, within in the grounds of Tulloch Wines.
