The 39 Steps opens at Salisbury Playhouse on Thursday this week and promises to be a frenetic all action, parody of the story made famous by the Alfred Hitchcock film.
Salisbury Radio met the cast and directors of the production and bring you a three-part series of interviews ahead of opening night. In Part Two, we hear from Phil Yarrow and Dani Bird, who, between them, play over 130 roles as the clowns.
We are invited to experience the mystery of Alfred Hitchcock’s iconic spy thriller, The 39 Steps, in Patrick Barlow’s brilliantly hilarious stage adaptation. This Olivier and Tony Award-winning comedy is back on a UK tour after a phenomenal 10-year run in London’s West End.
Follow the dashing Richard Hannay as he embarks on a thrilling adventure filled with daring antics, romantic encounters and ghastly murders. Get set for a whirlwind of suspense taking you from the bustling streets of London to the remote Scottish Highlands as four talented actors play over 150 characters. Don’t miss this exhilarating escapade that will have you laughing, gasping, and cheering for more!
You can hear below how it works for the actors as they switch between roles and costume changes and how it works on and off stage.
The 39 Steps opens at Salisbury Playhouse on Thursday, 13th February, and runs until Saturday, 8th March.
Tickets are priced from £12 and can be purchased from the Wiltshire Creative Website - https://www.wiltshirecreative.co.uk/events/the-39-steps
In Part Three, we will hear from Mater Oxley, who plays Richard Hannay, and Mei Mei Macleod, who plays Annabelle, Pamela and Margaret. We find out what rehearsals have been like and more about the production.
