About this event
Adapted by David Edgar Directed by Ben Mowbray
PRESENTED BY OUR STAR THEATRE COMPANY (Sherlock’s Excellent Adventure/Deaths At Sea)
A thrillingly funny sequel to The 39 Steps, Hannay Stands Fast sees our dashing hero Richard Hannay back in the fray to thwart a new and deadly threat to his beloved England. Engaged on this top-secret case by MI5, Hannay makes his way down to Cornwall to infiltrate a secretive organisation and learn their dastardly plans. Can he save the day to keep the nation safe?
Like its predecessor, Hannay Stands Fast is taken on by four actors playing dozens of characters – 53 to be precise. Set in various locations through the quick and innovative use of trunks, crates, suitcases, ladders – you name it!
A rip-roaring comedy for the whole family to enjoy – another of Buchan’s classic Hannay stories re-told for the stage through laughs, daring-do and utter chaos!
