Berliner Kriminal Theater, Germany
The 39 Steps - A crime comedy by John Buchan and Alfred Hitchcock
An unexpected evening visitor, a mysterious warning, and a death that comes far too suddenly - for Richard Hannay, this marks the beginning of an adventure that unfolds far less logically than his otherwise orderly life. He barely sets foot on the first wobbly step before the next one gives way. Before he knows it, he finds himself caught in a story where every detail suddenly seems suspicious.
At the heart of all the puzzles lies a mysterious organization: The 39 Steps. What are they planning? Unknown. What do they unleash? A wild mix of tension, pursuit, and surprisingly comic moments. The boundary between danger and situational comedy proves remarkably thin.
"The 39 Steps" is a crime comedy with pace, wit, and a generous dose of irony. An evening of theatre that shows how quickly apparent certainties begin to crumble - and how entertaining it can be to get closer to unravelling the unknown.
