The 39 Steps, the award-winning comic stage version of the classic thriller, is currently on tour across the UK.

The whodunit, which was named best new comedy in the 2007 Olivier awards, features just four actors playing 139 roles in 100 minutes of ingenious fun and thrilling action

Nothing that featured in Alfred Hitchcock’s 1935 film version of John Buchan's novel has been cut: including the chase on the Flying Scotsman, the escape on the Forth Bridge and the first theatrical biplane crash ever staged.

As well as London’s Criterion Theatre in Piccadilly Circus, the show wlll be visiting the following theatres.

Colchester Mercury: May 19 to 24
Canterbury Marlowe Theatre: May 27 to 31
Salford Lowry: June 2 to 7
Sheffield Lyceum: June 9 to 14

Our prize is for any Monday to Thursday show in the West End or for Colchester on May 23, Canterbury on May 30, Salford on June 6, Sheffuled in June 13 and Belfast on June 20.
