Lantern Theater Company presents the winner of the 2007 Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Comedy and a 2008 Tony Award® nominee for Best Play, the riotous adaptation of “The 39 Steps”. The show was inspired by John Buchan’s 1915 adventure novel and Alfred Hitchcock’s 1935 film and continues to delight audiences today.
Both spy thriller and a rollicking comedy, the comedy travels from London to the Scottish Highlands and back again.
