"The 39 Steps"
to
USC Longstreet Theatre 1325 Greene Street, Columbia, South Carolina 29208
Put together an Alfred Hitchcock espionage thriller with the absurd style of Monty Python and you get Patrick Barlow’s manically theatrical comedy, The 39 Steps. Like magicians showing off their tricks, the cast of four becomes more than 150 different characters right before your eyes. Fusing all of the original film’s intrigue and edge-of-your-seat suspense into a script filled with zingers, witty repartee and countless clever references to the Hitchcock oeuvre, The 39 Steps is a fast-paced, Tony Award® winning whodunit, described by critics as “a dizzy delight” (NY Daily News) and an “absurdly enjoyable, gleefully theatrical riff” (The New York Times).
Dates and Times: February 21, 26-28 from 8pm-10pm; February 22, March 1 from 7pm to 9pm; February 23 from 3pm-5pm.
