The 39 Steps at the Playhouse, QPAC Tickets
About The 39 Steps
4 actors, 130 characters, and 100 minutes of hilarity!
Mix Alfred Hitchcock’s classic spy thriller with a dash of Monty Python-style chaos, and you get THE 39 STEPS — a turbo-charged, Olivier and Tony Award-winning® comedy smash. After thrilling more than 3 million fans across 39 countries — from London’s West End to Broadway — this international sensation is reimagined and coming to Australia.
Directed by acclaimed theatre-maker Damien Ryan and starring four of Australia’s most beloved talents: Lisa McCune (Blue Heelers, Sea Patrol, The King and I) Ian Stenlake (Sea Patrol, Stingers) and The Umbilical Brothers (David Collins and Shane Dundas) THE 39 STEPS is ready to make its way across Australia in an unmissable national tour this year.
Join the suave but unsuspecting Richard Hannay as he finds himself framed for murder and tangled in a web of spies, secrets, and seductive strangers. To clear his name, he must outrun the law, outwit international agents, and survive a string of increasingly absurd adventures.
In just 100 minutes of non-stop action, four fearless actors play 130 roles in a dazzling display of quick changes, inventive stagecraft, and high-energy hilarity. A gripping fast-paced comedy thriller that will leave you breathless with laughter.
