Casting announced for the return of THE 39 STEPS to the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough

Casting has been announced for the revival of a hugely popular production of The 39 Steps at Scarborough’s Stephen Joseph Theatre from 30 June-29 July before visiting Theatre by the Lake in Keswick.

Dave Hearn (Mischief Theatre), Lucy Keirl (Cinderella, SJT), Olivia Onyehara (All’s Well That Ends Well, RSC) and Niall Ransome (Mischief Theatre) will be directed by Paul Robinson in the show, which mixes a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, and adds a dash of Monty Python to create a fast-paced whodunit for anyone who loves the magic of theatre.

This Olivier Award-winning treat is packed with non-stop laughs, some good old-fashioned romance and a whole host of colourful characters (all played by a ridiculously talented cast of four). Iconic scenes include the chase on the Flying Scotsman, the first-ever theatrical biplane crash and a death-defying (well nearly) finale.

Director Paul Robinson said: “We had an absolute riot when we created our first production of The 39 Steps back in 2018 – and that was just our team! But I think that goes for the audiences, too: people have been asking us ever since to bring it back. We’re delighted that this remount is a co-production with Theatre by the Lake – we’re sure that the Lakes will love it as much as our Scarborough audience did.”

This SJT/TBTL co-production of The 39 Steps is designed by Helen Coyston, with lighting by Jason Taylor, sound and composition by Simon Slater, movement direction by Erin Carter, and casting by Sarah Hughes CDG.
