 Hitchcock's 1935 movie is a masterpiece of sustained adventure, as the hero - framed for murder - becomes both pursuer and prey for a shadowy international conspiracy. Classic scenes of The 39 Steps - at the Criterion - include vertiginous peril on the Forth Bridge, a frantic biplane pursuit, and the grandstand conclusion in a packed London Palladium. In other words, it's exactly the sort of story that could never be attempted by a fringe theatre company - a fact which forms the central joke of this satisfyingly inventive production. Four actors play 150 different characters, while a small selection of props and some clever lighting effects become the Scottish moors, the West End, and dozens of other locations across the country. Richard Hannay is a ridiculously stiff-upper-lipped hero, a calm spot in the centre of the frantic action. Making a virtue out of silliness, this will be enjoyed by anyone who loves Hitchcock, or takes pleasure in the endless possibilities of the theatre. Please Note: seats with a face value of £22.50 in the rear stalls are classed as restricted view R/V |

 Planet Hollywood is a madhouse of giant proportions. From the scurrying waiters to the continuous soundtracks to the projection screen going up and down, to the sounds of happy kids, to the visual overload of a collection of museum-quality film memorabilia, Planet Hollywood's atmosphere is absolutely unique. |
