Adapted by Patrick Barlow
From the novel by John Buchan
The 39 Steps is an Olivier and Tony Award-winning comedic play adapted by Patrick Barlow. It mixes Alfred Hitchcock’s classic 1935 thriller with the fast-paced, silly humor of Monty Python. Just four actors play over 150 different roles to tell the story of a man framed for murder who must clear his name.
The story is set in 1930s England and Scotland. A bored, dashing man named Richard Hannay goes to the theater. There, he meets a mysterious woman who claims to be a spy and begs him to take her home. Later that night, she is murdered in his apartment. Hannay becomes the prime suspect and must flee to the Scottish Highlands to evade both the police and actual spies. Along the way, he races to stop a secret spy ring—known as "The 39 Steps"—from stealing British military secrets.

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Dr. Henry Jekyll is a brilliant scientist frustrated by the constraints of respectable society in
1888 Victorian London. Determined to explore the dual nature of humanity, he creates a
formula that unleashes his darker instincts, transforming him into the brutish but oddly
compassionate Edward Hyde.
As Hyde enjoys the thrill of freedom, Jekyll’s quiet life continues — until Hyde’s passions turn
deadly.
