The 39 Steps








We went to the theater last to see the West End import "The 39 Steps". Based on Alfred Hitchcock's popular 1935 film, the stage production uses 4 actors to portray around 3 dozen different characters. Very funny. The best of the Hitchcock in jokes was a shadow puppet recreation of the crop duster scene from "North By Northwest".
