Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel and a dash of Monty Python-style mayhem and you have The 39 Steps — a laugh-out-loud whodunit packed with theatrical invention.
When an ordinary man meets a mysterious woman claiming to be a spy, he is plunged into a nationwide manhunt. Pursued by a shadowy organisation known only as “The 39 Steps,” he must dodge danger, outwit villains, and survive an onstage plane crash — all while encountering over 50 wildly eccentric characters, played by a ridiculously talented cast.
This multi award-winning comedy thriller Script has a dazzling blend of virtuoso characters, physical comedy and wildly inventive stagecraft — Drama Mavericks will bring an unforgettable evening of pure theatrical pleasure.
Performed at the wonderfully intimate Norwich Puppet Theatre, this fast-paced comedy thriller is perfectly suited to the venue’s cosy atmosphere and vibrant charm. With its welcoming space and excellent bar for the interval, it promises a fantastic night out from start to finish.
