The 39 Steps

The 39 Steps

McAninch Arts Center
425 Fawell Blvd Glen Ellyn

This insanely clever comic stage adaptation of Alfred Hitchcock's thriller The 39 Steps turns a tiny cast of actors into more than 130 zany characters with a mix of film noir panache, spy novel thrills and more than a touch of Monty Python-esque absurdity. The two-time winner of both Tony and Drama Desk Awards, The 39 Steps is a fast-paced and funny whodunit about a man accused of a murder he didn't commit, who flees from the authorities and encounters a string of hair-raising adventures, as well as an unlikely love connection. Brace yourself for an onstage plane crash, missing fingers and some good old-fashioned romance at the McAninch Arts Center at the College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn.
