ASEF Special Outings

The Lantern Theater of Philadelphia Presents

Join Penn faculty colleagues for a special matinee performance of The 39 Steps, a play adapted by Patrick Barlow from John Buchan’s novel and the movie by Alfred Hitchcock. Directed by Charles McMahon, Lantern Artistic Director.
 
“A spy thriller or a rollicking comedy? Why not both! We travel from London to the Scottish Highlands and back again in this absurdist play about a social dandy trying to thwart the theft of state military secrets. Winner of the 2007 Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Comedy and a 2008 Tony Award® nominee for Best Play, this riotous adaptation of The 39 Steps was inspired by John Buchan's 1915 adventure novel and Alfred Hitchcock's 1935 film and continues to delight audiences today.”
 
Saturday June 14, 2025, 2 PM
 
This performance will be followed by an audience engagement Artists in Conversation session featuring lead actors and the Director.
