Based on the 1935 Alfred Hitchcock film, The 39 Steps is about an ordinary man who is framed for murder and caught up in the dealings of a secret spy organization. The typical twists and turns of Hitchcock are multiplied by ten with the constant changing roles transforming this production into a fast paced thriller.
The play is directed by Dr. Marti Runnels, head of Wayland Baptist Theatre Department & Dean of Theatrical Arts.
