'Exactly the thing the West End has been waiting for'
The Observer
'A joyous version of the Hitchcock classic'
Sunday Times
The Hitchcock film The 39 Steps, which itself is based on the more serious thriller written by John Buchan is thrillingly adapted for the stage.
Nothing has been cut, all the best scenes are included, like the chase on the Flying Scotsman, the escape on the Forth Bridge, the first theatrical bi-plane crash ever staged and the death-defying (or nearly!) finale at the London Palladium!

Buchan's large cast of 139 quirky characters - from spies and theatre performers to policemen and innkeepers are amazingly taken on by only a quartet of actors, who prove to be masters of the quick change and disguise.


Robert Portal and Jimmy Chisolm joined the cast of The 39 Steps in April. Portal replaced Charles Edwards as Richard Hannay and Chisolm replaced Rupert Degas as Clown. Simon Gregor and Rachel Pickup remained with the production.

Directed by Maria Aitkin.

Now showing at Criterion Theatre

Criterion Theatre
Piccadilly Circus

Apart from the Box Office area, the entire theatre is under ground, and is reached by descending a strikingly tiled stairway. The theatre was originally intended as a concert hall, but it was decided to change it to a theatre during the construction. The building was originally gaslight and had only basic ventilation, in 1883 it was forced to close by the local council. The theatre was then modified with proper ventilation and was electrified and reopened the following year. Like other theatres from the same period, columns are used to support both the Dress Circle and the Upper Circle, which means that many of the seats have a 'restricted view'. The theatre closed in 1989 (during the reconstruction of Piccadilly Circus) and was extensively refurbished, reopening in October 1992.

Recent productions at this theatre include Kevin Elyot's comedy "My Night With Reg" which transferred here from the Royal Court Theatre Upstairs on 21 November 1994 and went on to win the Best Comedy Award, Evening Standard Awards 1994. The Reduced Shakespeare Company's production of "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare - Abridged" opened here on 7 March 1996.
