Loaded with references to famous Hitchcock films, plus hilarious slapstick, and a gripping spy plot, The 39 Steps at Genesius Theatre is a delight for film-‐buffs, theater-‐goers and anyone ready to laugh! Seeking a frivolous night out at the theatre, Richard Hannay is lured into a world of intrigue by a mysterious woman claiming to be a spy. When she winds up dead in his flat, he flees London with the police hot on his trail. A maze of murder and espionage entangles our innocent, mild-mannered protagonist as he navigates a flirtatious blonde, an on-stage plane crash, and death-defying spectacles
“Absurdly enjoyable! This gleefully theatrical riff on Hitchcock’s film is fast and frothy, performed by a cast of four that seems like a cast of thousands. The actors themselves seem to be having a helluva good time. As does the audience.” — Ben Brantley, New York Times
“Inventively astonishing, riotous & marvelous.” – Clive Barnes, New York Post
