'The 39 Steps' set to return to the West End

This is the first time The 39 Steps has been seen in the West End since 2015. A UK tour of this production is currently running until 3 August.

Tony and Olivier Award-winning comedy The 39 Steps is set to return to the West End this summer for a strictly limited seven-week run.

This is the first time the show has been seen in the West End since 2015, and a UK tour of this production is currently running until 3 August.

Producer Ed Snape said, “We cannot think of a better production to delight audiences this summer than with this hilarious, joyous and quintessentially British adaptation by Patrick Barlow of Alfred Hitchcock’s classic spy thriller. There is nothing quite like sitting in a theatre filled with laughter and this play always delivers.”

The 39 Steps follows Richard Hannay, who finds himself framed for murder after meeting a beautiful woman who claims to be a spy.

The comedy is directed by Nicola Samer, with the original creative team including designer Peter McKintosh, lighting designer Ian Scott, sound designer Mic Pool, and director of movement Toby Sedgwick.

This production is a remount of the award-winning production directed by Maria Aitken and adapted by Patrick Barlow.

Casting is yet to be announced.
