July 6 – July 31, 2010 – Part of the Summer Fools Festival
A Hitchcock masterpiece mixed with a juicy spy novel - add a dash of Monty Python and you have
THE 39 STEPS
The first play is so OVER THE TOP the Company decided to roll all 3 of its summer festival shows into one. Company of Fools is one of the few theatres in the nation fortunate enough to have secured the rights to the highly successful and wonderfully theatrical The 39 Steps.Perfect for ages 9 to 90!
In THE 39 STEPS, a man with a boring life meets a woman with a thick accent who says she's a spy. When he takes her home, she is murdered. Soon, a mysterious organization called "The 39 Steps" is hot on the man's trail in a nationwide manhunt that climaxes in a death-defying finale! A riotous blend of virtuoso performances and wildly inventive stagecraft, THE 39 STEPS amounts to an unforgettable evening of pure pleasure! Company of Fools’ production features Andrew Alburger, Jennifer Jacoby Rush, Richard Rush and Joel Vilinsky.
This show is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts, The Paul G. Allen Family Foundation, and Judith & Richard Smooke.
