John Buchan's THE 39 STEPS - memorably filmed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1935 - is thrillingly adapted for the stage. Nothing has been cut from this hilarious and spectacular version of Britain's most spell -binding thriller - legendary scenes include the chase on the Flying Scotsman, the escape on the Forth Bridge, the first theatrical bi-plane crash ever staged and the death-defying (or nearly!) finale at the London Palladium! With four actors playing a minimum of one hundred and thirty nine roles, THE 39 STEPS is the most astonishing theatrical tour de force of the year. Please Note: seats with a face value of £25 in the rear stalls are classed as restricted view, R/V.
Showing at Criterion Theatre Apart from the Box Office area, the entire theatre is under ground, and is reached by descending a strikingly tiled stairway. The theatre was originally intended as a concert hall, but it was decided to change it to a theatre during the construction. The building was originally gaslight and had only basic ventilation, in 1883 it was forced to close by the local council. The theatre was then modified with proper ventilation and was electrified and reopened the following year. Like other theatres from the same period, columns are used to support both the Dress Circle and the Upper Circle, which means that many of the seats have a 'restricted view'. The theatre closed in 1989 (during the reconstruction of Piccadilly Circus) and was extensively refurbished, reopening in October 1992.
