Sussex School Presents The 39 Steps School Play

I say everyone!

Jolly good news!

Greenfields Theatre Company is dashed pleased to announce that this summer we will be producing a bally exciting adaptation of Alfred Hitchcock’s classic spy thriller, based on John Buchan’s gripping whodunnit, The 39 Steps.

The show follows the incredible adventures of our handsome hero Richard Hannay, complete with stiff-upper-lip, British gung-ho and pencil moustache as he encounters dastardly murders, double-crossing secret agents, and, of course, devastatingly beautiful women in a bid to clear his name and solve a murder he did not commit.

This wonderfully inventive and gripping comedy thriller promises to be full of fast-paced fun and thrilling action.

Directed once again by our talented Head of Drama, Maria Bird using Patrick Barlow’s award winning comedy script, this will be a show you will not want to miss!

Fun for all the family !

(Every year senior students at Greenfields School become a theatre company for the last three weeks of the school year and put on three public performances.)

The performance will be on Thursday 14th July – 7:30pm, Friday 15th July – 7:30pm and Saturday 16th July – 7:30pm.

To book your seats please contact Greenfields School on 01342 822189 and ask for the wonderful box office!
