Experience a classic movie in a historic space!

First shown at Taliesin in 1935, The 39 Steps is a classic comedy thriller and a highlight of Alfred Hitchcock’s directing career. While sitting in a London theatre watching a man perform dazzling memory tricks, Richard Hannay and the rest of the audience flee after hearing a gunshot. As he leaves, he encounters a young woman who asks if she can accompany him. Fascinated by her apparent terror, he agrees. During the night, however, she is murdered in his flat, and he must avoid the police long enough to find the real killers and clear his name.

This film is presented in partnership with the River Valley Film Club and American Players Theatre.
