HART presents Hitchcock classic
The stage production of the classic Alfred Hitchcock thriller “The 39 Steps” will held at 3 p.m. Aug. 1 at the Haywood Arts Regional Theatre in Waynesville.
The story comes from a melodrama published in 1915 by John Buchan. It would have long been forgotten but it became a classic 1935 film by Alfred Hitchcock starring Robert Donat. In 1999, the British Film Institute ranked Hitchcock’s version of “The 39 Steps” the fourth best British film of all time. Another version of the film, copied almost shot for shot, was made in 1959 by Ralph Thomas and starred Kenneth More. It has also been filmed for television and presented on radio, but none compare with the original.
Tickets are $24 for adults, $20 seniors and $11 students, with a $7 matinee pass available.
