The fast-paced spoof, based on a 1935 Alfred Hitchcock movies, features four actors playing more than 90 characters
To say that there’s a lot of clowning around in “The 39 Steps,” a comedic play that parodies the 1935 Alfred Hitchcock film of the same name, is an understatement. The production features two characters identified as “clowns” who during the course of the spy spoof portray more than 90 characters. In Scripps Ranch Theatre’s Season 44-opening show directed by Phil Johnson, actors Chris Braden and Katelyn Slater take on that prolific task.
Its pre-national tour was staged the following year at La Jolla Playhouse and it has since been staged at a couple other San Diego County theaters. “It’s a play with very few actors, and the actors who are in it get to have a ton of fun doing it,” said Bauer. “The fun they’re having translates over to the audience as they’re watching it.” There’s also the curiosity factor about those few actors playing so many roles and at lightning pace.
