Briefly Noted: Hitchcock, Laughs in MLT's '39 Steps'

Category: Announcements || By Submitted Report

High suspense meets hilarious in "The 39 Steps," a comedy adapted by Patrick Barlow from the novel by John Buchan and from the 1935 movie directed by Alfred Hitchcock.

The play opens this week at McKeesport Little Theater, 1614 Coursin St., and continues through March 25, with performances at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and at 2 p.m. Sundays.

Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of "Monty Python" and you have "The 39 Steps," a fast-paced whodunit for anyone who loves the magic of theater. More than 150 characters are played by only four actors; the play even includes an on-stage plane crash.

Winner of two Tony Awards (and nominated for a total of six), "The 39 Steps" is the story of a man with a boring life who meets a woman with a thick accent who says she's a spy. When he takes her home, she is murdered. Soon, a mysterious organization called "The 39 Steps" is hot on the man's trail in a nationwide manhunt that climaxes in a death-defying finale.

Tickets are $15 per person or $7 for students. Group rates are available. For reservations call (412) 673-1100 or visit the MLT's website.
