The Sound on Stage

“The As If production is presented by a cast of four, under the direction of Chris Shea, who understands how to deliver comedy in every way, from the physical to the farcical, and together with the kind of timing and characterizations that will keep you laughing not just until the curtain drops, but well after.”

“The sheer amount of characters that had to be performed, let alone getting the timing down with the constant changeovers, and all the while nailing the dialogue and the comedy was truly something remarkable to behold.”

“The 39 Steps is a play that has a little bit of everything – mystery, action and comedy. With minimal costumes and set pieces a spy story of epic proportions unravels before your eyes. 39 Steps is nothing you expect and everything you want…I cannot encourage you enough to go experience this wild ride.”

~ KINDLE CARPP

Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python and you have “The 39 Steps”, a fast-paced whodunit comedy for anyone who loves the magic of theatre!

The 39 Steps follows the story of Richard Hannay, an ordinary man bored with the drudgery of life, until he is unwittingly drawn into a web of espionage and murder. As he tries to clear his name, Hannay embarks on a whirlwind adventure across England and Scotland, encountering a host of quirky characters, police chases, trains, a plane crash, handcuffs, missing fingers, and even a little good old-fashioned romance. The play won critical acclaim worldwide, including the Olivier Award for Best New Play. This masterful production, directed by Chris Shea, showcases the inventiveness and creativity of live theater, with minimal props and sets, leaving audiences to wonder “how do they do that?”

Join us as a talented cast of 4 take on multiple characters in this this two-time Tony and Drama Desk Award-winning treat!
