Win a pair of tix to see The 39 Steps at the Lowry!
May 22, 2008

This competition is now closed and the answer is The Criterion Theatre.
Congratulations to Alison Eden. Enjoy the play!
Maria Aitken’s critically acclaimed production of Alfred Hitchcock’s classic 1935 spy thriller, The 39 Steps, visits The Lowry from Tue 3 – Sat 7 June. This hilariously recreated smash hit comedy, adapted for the stage by Patrick Barlow from the novel by John Buchan, is currently one of the West End’s ‘must-see’ shows winning an Olivier Award for Best New Comedy and we have one pair of tix up for grabs!
THE PLAY:
Four actors play 139 roles in 100 minutes in this fast-paced spy adventure, suitable for all the family. The fearless four are David Michaels, Clare Swinburne, Alan Perrin and Colin Mace. They perform every single legendary scene from the award-winning movie – including the chase on the Flying Scotsman, the escape on the Forth Bridge, the first theatrical bi-plane crash ever staged and the sensational death-defying finale in the London Palladium, besides many other favourite cinematic moments, including the memorable and controversial ‘stockings and suspenders’ scene!
This wonderfully inventive and gripping comedy thriller follows the incredible adventures of our handsome hero Richard Hannay, complete with stiff-upper-lip, British gung-ho and pencil moustache as he encounters dastardly murders, double-crossing secret agents, and, of course, devastatingly beautiful women.
THE OFFER:
We have one pair of tickets valid on Tuesday, 2nd June at 7.30pm @ The Lowry, Salford.
