The 39 Steps at Drury Lane Theatre Oakbrook Terrace

Why see The 39 Steps?

what's that, a pub?

Get on your running shoes and prepare to scamper up and down the country with Richard Hannay in this engaging comedy, coming to the Drury Lane Theatre this summer. Accused of a murder he didn't commit, he must run from the shady spy ring or 'The 39 Steps' as they call themselves. Based on Alfred Hitchcock's classic 1935 thriller, enjoy a glorious crime caper full of twists, turns, and of course, just a little romance...

Based on John Buchan's 1912 adventure novel of the same name, Hitchcocks' movie version is still cited as one of the best films of the 20th century. This stage adaptation takes its cues from the latter and as such is a wonderful 1930s romp that'll keep you laughing all night long.

one of the most entertaining shows I've seen

I absolutely loved The 39 Steps. It was a terrific combination of thriller/mystery, mad-cap comedy and probably most amazingly, there were only four actors in the entire production! I found it completely enthralling - and it probably made the experience that much better that we were in the first row and there was lots of fog at times, which rolled down over us - still allowing us to see the stage, but on a couple of occasions we could not see each other. I can't say enough about this highly entertaining production! A thoroughly enjoyable time! And I just adore Drury Lane - so close to home but rivals the big productions I've seen downtown and in Las Vegas. ... Read more
