Synopsis:
Based on the 1935 adventure film
The 39 Steps
and performed with a cast of only four.
One actor plays the hero, one actress plays the girl,
and two other actors play every other character in the show:
heroes, villains, men, women, children and even the occasional inanimate object,
so the serious spy story becomes a chaotic farce.

Richard Hannay: (30s-40s ish)
Classic leading man type. Unflappable, Straight Man. British in every
way. The only actor who plays one role.
Annabella Schmidt/Pamela/Margaret: (30s-40s)
German spy and Femme Fatal (Annabella), Shy Scottish House Wife
(Margaret), Classic British Leading Lady (Pamela), and more than a match
for Hannay. German accent, Scottish accent, British accent.
Clowns 1 & 2: (any age or gender)
Everything Else. Cockney accent, Scottish accent, British accent.
The clowns must be adept at fast paced changing of characters,
accents, and sets. Lots of diverse movement and physicality.
They are truly the backbone of the show.
