Show synopsis

Richard Hannay, a debonair gentleman who has just returned from Southern Rhodesia, suddenly finds himself embroiled in a deadly conflict between the British authorities, a ring of spies and mercenaries from Germany and her allies.

Unable to contact the police because he has been framed as the prime suspect in a murder, Hannay has no choice but to flee to Scotland to deliver some imperative military secrets and attempt to clear his name.

The 39 Steps is playing at the Criterion Theatre so book now to see this witty and thrilling production for yourself.
