Dianne Pilkington recently moved shows in the West End, from playing Glinda in Wicked at the Apollo Victoria to leading the new cast of The 39 Steps at the Criterion, which she joined on 26 April 2010.
She plays the roles of Annabella Schmidt, Pamela and Margaret in Patrick Barlow’s stage adaptation of the John Buchan whodunit, inspired by the 1935 Alfred Hitchcock film.
Four actors play “150 roles” between them to tell the tale of London bachelor Richard Hannay fleeing to Scotland and breaking a spy ring to prove his innocence after a woman is found murdered in his home. Maria Aitken directs.
Pilkington's previous West End roles include: Grizabella in Cats; Belinda in The Far Pavilions; Mary in Tonight’s the Night; and Kim in the original cast of Boy George’s musical Taboo.
The 39 Steps is currently booking through to 23 October 2010.
