MTC: The 39 steps

Shots ring out across a crowded theatre and Richard Hannay is drawn into a murder mystery that takes him from London to Scotland and back again.

Based (hysterically) on the Hitchcock film this play is aprt slapstick, part farce, part Monty Python and completely hilarious.

A cast of four plays 139 different roles (Actually three of the cast play 138 roles as Marcus Graham only plays our hero - Richard Hannay)

I highly recommend this play - it is one of the funniest pieces of theatre I have seen in a long while. The cast is excellent (particularly Grant Piro and Tony Taylor) switching from role to role with ease.

I could very easily go and see this play again...
