Details: The 39 Steps – Play
META – Mahindra Excellence in Theatre Awards 2012
The 39 steps is a comic tribute to Alfred Hitchcock and his cult spy-thriller. It’s a take on the genre of larger than life Hollywood heroes of the nineteen thirties and forties. The play is set in the context of four actors trying to recreate the entire movie, scene to scene using nothing more than four trunks, a lamp post, a door and a window frame. They play 140 roles, recreating train chases, car chases, aero plane fights, dark moors, evil mansions and more, with lightning, fast set changes, special effects, and theatrical devices with their tongues firmly in their cheeks.
Venue: Kamani Auditorium
Notes: Funny, Gimmicky, Interesting
