Spies, Secrets and Side-Splitting Laughter: The 39 Steps Kicks Off Australian Tour Next Week!

The 39 Steps 

The Curtain Rises on a Comedy Classic

Australia is about to be swept up in a whirlwind of espionage, absurdity and theatrical brilliance, as The 39 Steps opens next week to launch its long-awaited national tour. This laugh-a-minute stage adaptation of Alfred Hitchcock’s iconic 1935 thriller has already delighted more than 3 million theatregoers around the world—and now it’s our turn to join the fun.

From Hitchcock to Hilarity

What happens when a shadowy spy tale collides with lightning-fast comedy? You get The 39 Steps, a slick, smart and wildly inventive production that transforms a suspenseful story into a masterclass in theatrical mayhem. Packed with intrigue and brimming with wit, the show follows the dashing Richard Hannay as he becomes entangled in a dangerous conspiracy, dodging police and enemy agents across Britain—all while trying to prove his innocence.

Four Actors. 130 Characters. 100 Minutes of Madness.

What sets The 39 Steps apart is its astonishing pace and creativity. With just four actors playing over 130 characters, every scene is a jaw-dropping blend of quick changes, clever gags, and impeccable timing. The cast includes some of Australia's most cherished performers: Lisa McCune, Ian Stenlake, and The Umbilical Brothers—David Collins and Shane Dundas—each bringing charisma, energy and comedic brilliance to this stage phenomenon.
