39 Steps

39 Steps is play based off of Alfred Hitchcock's 1935 film of the same name. This play is showing at the Stanley Park theatre on West 12th. I believe that the play has the same story line as the film but the play definitely makes fun of it more. This story is known as a thriller but the play is shown more as a comedy. The story is about Richard Hannay who travels from England to Scotland to unravel the secret of the 39 Steps.
I wasn't very excited to see it at first because I thought it was going to be a thriller and I don't like thrillers. Anyways my Dad told me it wasn't a thriller and that it was a comedy. This play is done very well with only a cast of four people. They had one man play the main character, Richard Hannay; they had two other men who played numerous characters that either aided Hannay's quest or were the antagonists; and there was one women who played numerous love interests to Richard Hannay. It was usually the two men who made things more comical most often by teasing Hannay. I would definitely recommend that everyone see this play, it is really well done and very funny!!
