Summary
Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python and you have … Alfred Hitchcock’s THE 39 STEPS. A mindblowing cast of four actors play dozens of characters in this fast-paced tale of an ordinary man on an extraordinarily entertaining adventure. The madness begins when mild-mannered Richard Hannay starts his evening at the theatre and ends the night with a dead body in his lap. Caught in a maze of murder, espionage and entanglements, our hero careens from the British music hall to the moors of Scotland and back to the London Palladium in search of a plausible alibi and the true identity of the killer. Broadway’s most intriguing, most riotous, most unmissable Tony-winning comedy smash proves that anything the movies can do, the theatre can do more hilariously! This show is perfect for the whole family, with plenty of crazy antics to delight children and a spy-thriller plot to engage even the most curmudgeonly adults. Fine Linen invites the community to laugh together as we celebrate the "every-man hero" and the joy of live theatre.
Parental Guidance
Each parent must make their own determination, but Fine Linen Theatre believes that the show will be entertaining and appropriate for most children age 8 and older, although the topic of murder and espionage may be too intense for some children.
Language: No language.
Sex and Nudity: One kiss is clearly faked.
Violence and Gore: 4 death scenes. The murders are staged in a comic manner, however there is a stabbing, and several gunshots.
Alcohol, Drugs, and Smoking: A fake 1930's long cigarette is used by the villain. Whisky is mentioned and a glass is consumed later.
Frightening and Intense: There is a very funny, but intense scene of a chase "on top of a train," and the hero jumps from a train trestle. Also, two puppet airplanes are involved in a plane crash. The shooting scenes could be considered intense.
