Die 39 Stufen

In the organizer's words:

The 39 Steps - A crime comedy by John Buchan and Alfred Hitchcock

An unexpected evening guest, a mysterious warning and a death that comes far too suddenly - for Richard Hannay, this marks the beginning of an adventure that is far less logical than his otherwise well-ordered life. As soon as he sets foot on the first shaky step, the next one gives way. And before he knows it, he finds himself in the middle of a story in which every detail suddenly seems suspicious.

At the center of all the mysteries is a mysterious organization: The 39 Steps. What are they planning? Unknown. What triggers it? A wild mix of suspense, pursuit and surprisingly funny moments. Because the line between danger and situation comedy is surprisingly thin here.

"The 39 Steps" is a crime comedy with pace, wit and a good dose of irony. An evening of theater that shows how quickly supposed certainties can be shaken - and how entertaining it can be to get closer to the unknown.
