The fast and the curious are given their true sense of exhilaration and thrills in the sublime Patrick Barlow adaption of the John Buchan novel, The 39 Steps, and in dramatic fashion the brilliance of farce and the sheer genius of buffoonery is once more aligned with the stars and the conceit of the spy story is shown for the creativity that the production deserves.

For many, the night Tommy Cooper died at Her Majesty’s Theatre infront of a live television audience will always be remembered. The man who could make people laugh just by standing infront of them, had passed on at the end his act 30 years ago and for many the sound of laughter was never the same again.
