The 39 Steps, a play adapted by Patrick Barlow from the Hitchcock Film. American Airlines Theatre. Starring Arnie Burton, Charles Edwards, Jennifer Ferrin and Cliff Saunders. Directed by Maria Aitken. This marvelous show, more comedy than thriller, is pure adrenalin, pure joy, a gas from first to last. Ingeniously conceived by Simon Corble and Nobby Dimon, adapted by Patrick Barlow, and executed by an amazing cast of four led by the dapper Charles Edwards as the intrepid Richard Hannay, "The 39 Steps" is the fourth top flight Broadway play we've seen this season, the best such season we can ever remember. How these four mega talented actors recreate every scene in the famous Hitchcock thriller, has to be seen to be believed. Broadway Bridge and Tunnel Test Grade A.
