the english theatre company
The 39 Steps played at two venues in November 2024. The cast of seven played dozens of characters and the scenes shifted from London’s West End to the Scottish Highlands and back again before the romantic dénouement. Originally a novel by John Buchan, then
a film by Alfred Hitchcock, the ETC closely followed Patrick Barlow’s comedic adaptation of both the film and book.
The ETC’s 2025 calendar commenced in March with a radio play of The Perfect Murder by Hugh Janes, adapted from a novel by Jeffrey Archer. The play is set in England and centres around the murder of a young woman, Carla Moorland. A cast of nine played thirteen different characters at the Salles des Fêtes in Cazaux Villecomtal (32) and in Boudrac (31).
