About the show

Award-winning actor Jonathan Goodwin writes and performs this gripping new stage adaptation of John Buchan’s classic Edwardian spy thriller, famously filmed by Alfred Hitchcock.

First published in 1915, The Thirty-Nine Steps follows Richard Hannay, a man falsely accused of murder and forced to flee across the moors of Scotland. Hunted by the sinister Black Stone - a secret criminal organisation intent on triggering global war - Hannay must evade capture, survive relentless pursuit, and stop an anarchist plot to assassinate a foreign dignitary. Fast-paced and suspenseful, this bold solo adaptation delivers intrigue, adventure and edge-of-your-seat storytelling.
