The 39 Steps at Theatre At The Center

Chicago Stage and Screen - Recommended

"...The stage version was adapted by Patrick Barlow in 2005 and includes many references to other Hitchcock classics along with many bouts of physical comedy intertwined with campy humor. Additionally, the production has only 4 actors playing a total of 150 characters combined. That being said, It's an excellent night of laughter and suspense, and surely there isn't a dull moment throughout."

Around The Town Chicago - Highly Recommended

"...Theatre at the Center's production of "The 39 Steps" will keep you laughing from start to finish. If you think you remember Alfred Hitchcock's 1935 black and white, and very moody, spy film, so you already know this plot, forget about it! This version of "The 30 Steps" is a campy, melodramatic spoof with just four actors playing all the parts. If you're looking for laughs, this is the show for you."

NewCity Chicago - Recommended

"...Though there are a few moments of physical comedy that repeat enough to be tiresome, these are overwhelmed by the general momentum of hilarity that builds pleasurably till the end of the show."
