The 39 Steps

The 39 Steps is a parody play adapted from an adventure film, which is itself adapted from a novel. The production's concept calls for the entirety of the spy story to be performed by a cast of only four actors. One actor plays the hero, while another performer plays the three women with whom he has romantic entanglements. The remaining two actors play every other character in the show, often portraying multiple roles at once to give the serious story a comedic twist.
