The 39 Steps @ As If Theatre (Kenmore)
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 comedy. The 39 Steps follows the story of Richard Hannay, an ordinary man bored with the drudgery of life, until he is unwittingly drawn into a web of espionage and murder. As he tries to clear his name, Hannay embarks on a whirlwind adventure across England and Scotland, encountering a host of quirky characters, police chases, trains, a plane crash, handcuffs, missing fingers, and even a little good old-fashioned romance.
