Photo Flash: The 39 Steps

Roundabout Theatre Company presents The 39 Steps featuring Arnie Burton (Man #2), Charles Edwards (Richard Hannay), Jennifer Ferrin (Pamela/Margaret) and Cliff Saunders (Man #1).

This Broadway production of Alfred Hitchcock's The 39 Steps is adapted by Patrick Barlow. The Olivier Award winning production is directed by Maria Aitken, based on an original concept by Simon Corble and Nobby Dimon and on the book by John Buchan.

The 39 Steps opens officially on Tuesday, January 15, 2008 at the American Airlines Theatre (227 West 42nd St). This is a limited engagement through Sunday, March 23, 2008.

"Mix an Alfred Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of vintage Monty Python and you have The 39 Steps, a hilarious whodunit, part espionage thriller and part slapstick comedy, adapted for the stage from the famous film and novel. Shots ring out across a crowded theatre and Richard Hannay is lured into a world of intrigue by a mysterious woman claiming to be a spy. When she winds up dead in his flat, he flees London with the police hot on his trail," explain press notes.

Tickets are available by phone at (212) 719-1300, online at www.roundabouttheatre.org  or at the American Airlines Theatre. Ticket prices range from $51.25 - $96.25.

The 39 Steps will play Tuesday through Saturday evenings at 8:00PM with a Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday matinee at 2:00PM.
