Fountain Square Players will present the Tony Award Winning Comedy-Thriller The Thirty Nine Steps by Simon Corble and Nobby Dimon and adapted by Patrick Barlow .

After debonair gentleman-adventurer Richard Hannay discovers that a foreign enemy spy ring called “The Thirty Nine Steps” is trying to smuggle scientific-military secrets out of Britain, he sets out to stop them single-handedly while also being chased by the police who, wrongly, of course, suspect him of murder, or whatever.

The 39 Steps is a 4-act, comic spoof that nabbed an Olivier Award for Best Comedy and has had Broadway audiences in stitches for 770 performances. 

Performances are March 17-20, 2011 at the Phoenix Theater.
