SUMMARY:THE 39 STEPS
DESCRIPTION:THE THIRTY-NINE STEPS \nAdapted by Patrick Barlow \nFrom the novel by John Buchan\nFrom the movie by Alfred Hitchcock \nDirected by Mark Wickett \n“Although clearly dangerous\, he is quite good-looking\, actually” \nA whisky\, two stubborn singletons bound by handcuffs\, and a chase from London to the Scottish Highlands\, The 39 Steps takes a Hitchcock masterpiece based on the ground-breaking spy novel by John Buchan and transforms it into a theatrical spectacle of comedy\, action\, romance\, and fresh fish. \n“On the surface\, it’s a classic thriller set in the mid-1930s\, when the world was again frightened of war – terrified of whatever The 39 Steps could be\,” says director Mark Wickett\, “yet when you look beneath that menace\, the two main characters are just lonely individuals caught up in something much bigger than themselves\, trying to deny their mutual attraction.” \nAdapted by Patrick Barlow for the West End and Broadway\, this Olivier and two-timeTony award winning play has dozens of characters – all played by a ridiculously talented cast of four – with sound effects created live by an on-stage foley artist. The play is a pastiche of Hitchcock’s 1935 film (and his other works)\, creating laugh-out-loud comedy from witty dialogue – often unchanged from Hitchcock’s writers – and inventive stagecraft\, on a stripped-back set in the intimate surroundings of Adelaide’s Little Theatre. You’ll almost feel the rush of the Flying Scotsman as it hurtles over the Forth Bridge; brace yourselves for a plane you’re convinced will crash into the front row; and swear there’s more than four people on stage. \nWickett continues: “I want to make audiences laugh\, yet preserve Hitchcock’s message that despite their unfortunate ordeals\, love must prevail.” \nCAST\nThomas Midena\, Imogen Deller-Evans\, Emily Branford\, Maxwell Whigham and Angela Short. \nCONTENT WARNING\nMild violence\, sexual tension\, political ideology.\nThe performance may also contain haze effects\, strobe lighting\, with simulations of gunshots\, whisky drinking\, cigarette smoking\, and fish frying. \nTICKETS\n$25 Full Price\n$20 Concession\nSchool Groups: $15 per student\nSchools/Teachers: please email theatreguild@adelaide.edu.au for invoicing \nPerformance Dates\nFriday 25 October at 7:30pm\nSaturday 26 October at 7:30pm\nSunday 27 October at 4pm\nWednesday 30 October at 6:30pm – *with post-show Q&A*\nThursday 31 October at 7:30pm\nFriday 1 November at 7:30pm\nSaturday 2 November at 7:30pm\nSunday 3 November at 4pm
