Killer Comedy The 39 Steps coming to Auburn April 23Contact: Maija McKnight, Visual/Public Arts Coordinator WHAT: BRAVO presents the national touring Alfred Hitchcock’s The 39 Steps
The show follows a man with a boring life as he meets a woman with a strange thick accent who claims she’s a spy. When he takes her home, she ends up murdered. Soon after, a mysterious organization calling themselves “The 39 Steps” is hot on the man’s trail in a nationwide manhunt. And all 150 of the shows characters are played by the tiny cast of four (that’s right, four, as in 1, 2, 3, 4). The 39 Steps originated as a 1915 adventure novel by John Buchan. Twenty years later, notorious director Alfred Hitchcock released a film adaptation of the novel, starring Robert Donat, Madeleine Carroll, Lucie Mannheim and Godfrey Tearle will be screened at the Auburn Avenue Theater on Saturday, April 9. The show is a comic theatrical adaptation by Patrick Barlow based on Hitchcock’s 39 Steps. Winner of two Tony Awards, two Drama Desk Awards (including the Award for Unique Theatrical Experience) and a Laurence Olivier Award, The 39 Steps was one of the most successful nonmusical shows on Broadway and London’s West End before it’s recent close. The City of Auburn BRAVO Performing Arts Series includes music, dance, and theater performances for all ages throughout the year. We invite you to share all these magnificent moments on stage where extraordinary things come to life, making Auburns BRAVO Season More Than You Imagined!
