Alfred Hitchcock’s edge-of-your-seat spy thriller meets a burst of Monty Python madness in THE 39 STEPS—and now, this international comedy sensation is racing its way across Australia. With more than three million fans across 39 countries already swept up in the chaos, the show is finally making its way back to Australian shores in 2025 with a reimagined twist that promises both nostalgia and surprises.
A National Tour Like No Other
Audiences from Sydney to Brisbane will be treated to this Olivier and Tony Award-winning comedy from August to October. The whirlwind production begins at the iconic Sydney Opera House from 8 to 30 August, before heading to Newcastle’s Civic Theatre (2 to 6 September), Melbourne’s Comedy Theatre (10 to 28 September), and wrapping up in Brisbane’s Playhouse, QPAC (7 to 19 October).
Stars Shine in a Lightning-Fast Production
This production of THE 39 STEPS is directed by acclaimed theatre-maker Damien Ryan and features some of Australia’s most beloved performers. Lisa McCune and Ian Stenlake reunite on stage alongside physical comedy masters The Umbilical Brothers (David Collins and Shane Dundas). Together, these four powerhouse performers take on 130 different roles in just 100 minutes of quickfire scenes, hair-raising suspense, and pure comedic joy.
A Spy Thriller with a Comedic Twist
The play follows the dashing but unwitting Richard Hannay, who gets caught up in a deadly plot involving spies, secret codes, and international intrigue. Framed for murder, he must race across the countryside to clear his name—all while dodging train chases, plane crashes, and a barrage of eccentric characters played by the same four actors. The result is a non-stop blend of theatrical wizardry and high-energy hilarity.
Why You Can’t Miss It
Whether you're a fan of Hitchcock’s original film, a lover of absurdist comedy, or simply in the mood for a fast-paced night at the theatre, THE 39 STEPS delivers something for everyone. It’s part parody, part thriller, and all entertainment. After taking West End and Broadway by storm, it’s Australia’s turn once again to experience the magic.
