The 39 Steps Media Contact: Dawn Kellogg Communications Manager (585) 232-1366 ext. 3059 [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE HITCHCOCK MEETS HILARIOUS IN THE 39 STEPS Geva’s 41st Season continues with Olivier and Drama Desk Award- winning comedy based on the classic Hitchcock film. Rochester, N.Y., September 25, 2013– Geva Theatre Center’ 41st Season continues with The 39 Steps, adapted by Patrick Barlow, from the John Buchan novel and the film by Alfred Hitchcock. Directed by Sean Daniels, this fast-paced whodunit begins performances on October 22 and runs in the Elaine P. Wilson Mainstage through November 17. Hitchcock meets hilarious as Englishman Richard Hannay encounters dastardly murders, double crossing secret agents and devastatingly beautiful women in this fast-paced whodunit. Part espionage thriller and part slapstick comedy, four actors play over 150 characters in this ingeniously adapted homage to film noir and theatrical stagecraft. A runaway hit in London and on Broadway and the winner of the Olivier Award for Best New Comedy. John Buchan’s adventure tale of the best, bored man in England first appeared as a serial in Blackwood’s magazine in 1915 and was published in book form later that year. It was the first of five novels featuring the dashing Richard Hannay, a stiff-upper-lipped hero with a knack for getting out of sticky situations - a pre-cursor to Indiana Jones. The book, about a man who puts his country’s interests before his personal safety, was a huge hit for readers during World War I and has not been out of print for nearly a century. The story has been adapted for the big screen three times: the first, directed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1935, starred Robert Donat and Madeleine Carroll; the 1959 version starred Kenneth More as Richard Hannay and was directed by Robert Thomas; and the 1978 version starred Robert Powell as Hannay, directed by Don Sharp. However successful the later big screen versions, the 1935 Hitchcock film remains a clear favorite and was ranked #4 on the BFI Top 100 British Films. The first stage version of The 39 Steps for four actors was created by Nobby Dimon and Simon Corble in 1995. This toured small theatres and village halls in the north of England. Two very successful tours, starring Simon Ward and Simon Williams as Hannay in 1998 and 2000 respectively, toured large scale venues around the UK to great acclaim. In 2005, Patrick Barlow adapted the script, retaining Dimon and Corble’s original concept. This production debuted at the West Yorkshire Playhouse in 2005 and transferred to London’s Tricycle Theatre in 2006. It moved to the Criterion Theatre in the West End later that year where it won the 2007 Olivier Award for Best Comedy. It continues to play at the Criterion today. The play had its US premiere at the Huntington Theatre in Boston in 2007. In 2008 it was produced by Roundabout at the American Airlines Theatre. It transferred to Broadway’s Cort Theatre in April of that year and the following year moved to the Helen Hayes Theatre where it remained until it closed in January 2010 after 771 performances. The cast of Geva’s production of The 39 Steps is led by John Gregorio (The Book Club Play) as Richard Hannay. Honeoye Falls native Monica West (the North American premiere of Dirty Dancing: the Musical, “One Life to Live” and “Law & Order”) plays a bevy of femme fatales. Aaron Muñoz (The Book Club Play) and Buffalo native Joel Van Liew (“Boardwalk Empire” and “Nurse Jackie”) play a host of other characters in this tongue-in-cheek homage to Hitchcock. The 39 Steps is directed by Sean Daniels and the design team includes Michael Raiford (scenic design), Jen Caprio (costume design), Brian Lilienthal (lighting design) and Matt Callahan (sound design). The 39 Steps is produced with support from Flaum Management Co. and Nocon and Associates, a private wealth advisory practice of Ameriprise Financial Services. Legends 102.7 is the media sponsor. The 39 Steps begins performances October 22 and runs in the Mainstage through November 17.

    Quan el 1934 Madeleine Carroll va trepitjar per primera vegada la Costa Brava, aquesta actriu anglesa era encara poc coneguda fora de les pantalles britàniques. L’imminent pas cap a Hollywood li va fer encetar una carrera fulgurant impulsada pel treball amb alguns dels més prestigiosos directors del moment: John Ford, Alfred Hitchcock, William Dieterle, Cecil B. de Mille… Va ser en aquesta època quan les nostres comarques es van convertir en refugi de l’estrella entre rodatge i rodat- ge, però la tranquil·litat que més anhelava es va veure interrompuda per l’esclat de la Guerra Civil, que la va mantenir allunyada de la seva propietat catalana. En poc temps la mateixa ombra de la guerra s’estendria per tot Europa. Madeleine Carroll no va voler ser una simple espectadora del conflicte i va decidir-se a parti- cipar activament per recuperar la pau i els valors democràtics i es va implicar d’una manera molt personal com a membre de la Creu Roja, per donar suport a les vícti- mes més directes de la guerra, sobretot als nens orfes francesos i als soldats ame- ricans ferits. Ara, aprofitant el centenari del seu naixement i valent-nos d’alguns objectes i docu- ments del llegat de l’actriu, que ella mateixa conservava com els seus records més preuats, us proposem fer un recorregut per descobrir els diferents aspectes de la vida de Madeleine Carroll, des del més glamourós al més compromès. UNA ACTRIU ANGLESA A HOLLYWOOD Poc temps després de descobrir la passió pel teatre a la universitat, Madeleine Carroll (West Bromwich, Birmingham, 1906) que exercia de professora de francès, va viatjar a Londres a estudiar interpretació, obviant l’oposició familiar.

  • John Buchan Wrote the Thirty-Nine Steps While He Was Ill in Bed with a Duodenal Ulcer, an Illness Which Remained with Him All His Life
    John Buchan wrote The Thirty-Nine Steps while he was ill in bed with a duodenal ulcer, an illness which remained with him all his life. The novel was his first ‘shocker’, as he called it — a story combining personal and political dramas. The novel marked a turning point in Buchan's literary career and introduced his famous adventuring hero, Richard Hannay. He described a ‘shocker’ as an adventure where the events in the story are unlikely and the reader is only just able to believe that they really happened. The Thirty-Nine Steps is one of the earliest examples of the 'man-on-the-run' thriller archetype subsequently adopted by Hollywood as an often-used plot device. In The Thirty-Nine Steps, Buchan holds up Richard Hannay as an example to his readers of an ordinary man who puts his country’s interests before his own safety. The story was a great success with the men in the First World War trenches. One soldier wrote to Buchan, "The story is greatly appreciated in the midst of mud and rain and shells, and all that could make trench life depressing." Richard Hannay continued his adventures in four subsequent books. Two were set during the war when Hannay continued his undercover work against the Germans and their allies The Turks in Greenmantle and Mr Standfast. The other two stories, The Three Hostages and The Island of Sheep were set in the post war period when Hannay's opponents were criminal gangs. There have been several film versions of the book; all depart substantially from the text, for example, by introducing a love interest absent from the original novel.

  • Films from the THIRTIES: PART II 1935-39
    t% The Museum of Modern Art 1] West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 245-3200 Cable: Modernart No. 83 FOR RELEASE: Friday, August 25, I968 Films from THE THIRTIES: PART II 1935-39 The Museum of Modern Art, will present a retrospective of films from the thirties beginning August 23, and running through October 6. The Thirties, according to Willard Van Dyke, Director of the Department of Film, will consist of 39 pictures, representing some of the richest creative talent in American cinema at a time that has been called "the dear, dead days not beyond recall." Two years ago the Museum presented The Thirties, U.S.A., Part I, covering the first half of the decade. The films being shown now as Part II were made from 1935 ^^ 193 '• Among the pictures to be shown are: Frank Capra's "Lost Horizon"; Paul Muni in "The Life of Emile Zola," the Story of a Northern Jew's lynching in the South; the great thriller "Night Must Fall," an adaptation of the Emlyn Williams play starring Robert Montgomery; and "The Good Earth," a spectacle film in black and white, from Pearl Buck's popular novel, for which Luise Rainer won her second Academy Award, with Paul Muni in the starring role. The latter part of the thirties was characterized by further achievements in the musical film, largely due to the talents of Fred Astaire, who with Ginger Rogers starred in "Top Hat," and "Shall We Dance," both of which are in the retrospective. The most important contributions to the annals of films made in the thirties was the series of "snowball" comedies Hollywood turned out at a time of grim, economic hardships.
