‘It’s utterly ridiculous, brilliantly conceived and equally brilliantly realised… The 39 Steps is also a deceptively effortless master class in farce, stagecraft, design, wit and flair and some of the most authentic fraffly accents this side of Noel Coward… so awfully funny and frightfully well done is this ripping entertainment.’ Stage Noise

‘Spiffing adventure and side-splitting fun. Alfred Hitchcock would have loved it. Non-stop hilarity.’ Daily Telegraph
