TheatreSquared announced today a one-week extension of the extraordinarily popular comedy thriller, The 39 Steps. 'It's certainly uncommon to have a sold out show on a night when the Razorbacks are playing across town,' said T2 Managing Director Martin Miller. 'One week in, and it's on track to be the best-selling show in our history.' In addition to previously announced performances September 9-19, five performances have been added September 23-26 and are now on sale to the public. The live comedy thriller is adapted by Patrick Barlow from Alfred Hitchcock's 1935 film and John Buchan's spy novel. When a femme fatale is murdered in the home of a dashing Brit, he escapes being framed only to find a mysterious organization called 'The 39 Steps' hot on his trail. The play features an on-stage plane crash, a high-speed pursuit, and a classic Hitchcock 'strangers on a train' romance. The TheatreSquared production features an all-star creative team of working professionals from Northwest Arkansas, New York and Chicago. Performances are now scheduled Thursday, September 9 through Sunday, September 26, 2010 in the Studio Theater at Walton Arts Center's Nadine Baum Studios (505 W. Spring St, Fayetteville). Tickets range from $22-$24 ($10/under 30) and can be purchased by visiting the theatre's website at theatre2.org or by calling the Box Office at 479.571.2728.
