The 39 Steps Radio Show

Description

Church Hill Theatre proudly announces a radio production based on Alfred Hitchcock’s mystery The 39 Steps. Inspired by Hitchcock‘s classic tale, and adapted for radio by George Wells, this romantic thriller is a fast-paced ride through the signature world of the Master of Suspense. Richard Hannay is visiting 1930’s London when he meets Annabella Smith, who is on the run from foreign agents, after a disturbance at a music hall. Later that night, Annabella is murdered, and Hannay must then try to break the spy ring and prove his innocence. From an epic train ride to a feisty love interest, Hannay has his work cut out for him as he searches for the truth about The 39 Steps.
