Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a classic spy thriller, add a dash of Monty Python and you have The 39 Steps stage version, as adapted by Patrick Barlow.
The award-winning adaptation based off John Buchan’s gripping whodunit – memorably filmed by Aldfred Hitchcock in 1935 – is now transferred to the stage, with all of Hicthcock’s vision of this spell-binding comedic thriller maintaining all the legendary scenes.

It was the South Coast’s answer to the Academy Awards.
A sold out crowd of 500 thespians, crew and theatre lovers gathered for Hampshire’s own Oscars, the Daily Echo Curtain Call Awards.
Although, sadley, they didn't win, the following nominations were made for members of the Bursledon Players:
|
Gemma Mabeley – Director of How The Other Half Loves, Bursledon Players. A debut that managed to coax convincing performances from all the cast. |
|
Gemma Mabley – Pike in Dad’s Army, Bursledon Players. Very endearing, particularly in devotion to Cpt Mainwaring. |
|
Julie Bowring – Mary in How the Other Half Loves, Bursledon Players. Meekness personified. |
|
More than 400 guests from the best in Hampshire’s amateur theatrical world turned out at St Mary’s Stadium to celebrate the Daily Echo Annual Curtain Call Awards.
Amongst the winners this year is our very own Richard Calver who was awarded “Best Actor in a Comedy or Comic Drama” for his role as Julian Whittle, the tourist guide, in Fish Out of Water.
