"What is drama but life
with the dull bits cut out
?"


FUSION proudly presents the Albuquerque premiere of this Olivier and Tony-award winning comedy thriller.
A man, a beautiful woman, a thick accent, a spy, and a murder are the recipe for a riotous blend of virtuoso performances and wildly inventive stagecraft. Patrick Barlow's award-winning comedy is more than just a send-up of The Master. While the story and most of the dialogue come from its title film, the show is jammed with puns, sight gags and mockery of stage conventions that make it a caricature of theater, too.

Over 150 characters and four actors later, Patrick Barlow’s zany adaptation of Hitchcock’s classic film is an evocative tribute to a 1930s Britain of cold mists, steam engines, and of course a love story.

FUSION welcomes back director Robb Sisneros (Boston Marriage) to lead the frivolity and split second character shifts. Cast to be announced shortly!

Alfred Hitchcock's The 39 Steps continues through May 3rd with Thursday and Friday performances at 8:00 p.m., two performances on Saturdays at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m., and Sundays at 6:00 p.m.

Ben Brantley, review, New York Times:
"Adapted by Patrick Barlow from both the classic spy movie and the John Buchan novel of 1915, this fast, frothy exercise in legerdemain is throwaway theater at its finest. And that’s no backhanded compliment."


Clive Barnes, New York Post:
"The play's creators have affectionately pushed Hitchcock's brilliance - watch for various homages to such movies as "The Birds" and "The Lady Vanishes" - into some riotous realm of satire, without losing its essentially Hitchcockian flavor."
