About the show

Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel – The 39 Steps, a fast-paced whodunit for anyone who loves the magic of theatre! This two-time Tony and Drama Desk Award-winning treat is packed with non-stop laughs, over 150 zany characters, an onstage plane crash, handcuffs, missing fingers, and some good old-fashioned romance!

In The 39 Steps, a man with a boring life meets a woman with a thick accent who says she’s a spy. When he takes her home, she is murdered. Soon, a mysterious organisation called ‘The 39 Steps’ is hot on the man’s trail in a nationwide manhunt that climaxes in a death-defying finale!

A riotous blend of virtuoso performances and wildly inventive stagecraft, The 39 Steps amounts to an unforgettable evening of pure pleasure!

Directed by Kath Stanway (Admirable Crichton, Murder Afoot), this production sees 4 main cast members, plus 3 performing stagehands, take on an exciting, fast-moving and demanding play, playing multiple characters, moving between various locations and sometimes playing inanimate objects.

In true Stone Revellers fashion, St. Michael’s Hall will be transformed into a magical theatre space. You can choose your own seat online to ensure you get the best seats in the house.

Drinks will be served to your seat, and you’ll be please to hear that they accept cash and card payments.

Info about the Stone Revellers

Stone Revellers Musical Theatre is the longest-running theatre group in Stone. We have been performing in the town since 1978, and until the pandemic, they hadn’t missed a year.

The groups is run by, and for the members – there are over 100 Revellers who range from aged 6 to 90! And they warmly welcome more members at almost every single show.

The membership isn’t just about performers either; some people love to help with the technical side, set building, costume, collecting tickets and the million other things that go on behind the scenes.

‘Revs’ is more than just a theatre company, it’s a community.  They regularly get together socially and look out for each other through the trials and tribulations of life.  They certainly try not to take theirselves too seriously, but they absolutely take theatre seriously!

 

We constantly strive to improve our standards and ensure we offer our loyal audiences value for money.  Show by show, year by year we always aim to produce the most professional, slick and entertaining shows we possibly can.
