‘39 Steps’ at IRT
“The 39 Steps,” a Tony Award-winning play which has been called “an Alfred Hitchcock masterpiece… with a dash of Monty Python” is playing now through May 14 at the Indiana Repertory Theatre.
Four actors play multiple characters, contend with outrageous special effects, and, along the way, pay homage to some of Hitchcock’s most iconic movie moments, all while delivering a somewhat faithful, totally tongue-in-cheek rendering of a classic Hitchcock movie.
Performance and ticket information is available at www.irtlive.com or by calling the IRT Ticket Office at (317) 635-5252.
