The 39 Steps
American Heartland Theatre
I had no preconceived notions about this play, having avoided the reviews and the program notes. I enjoyed the film and the recent PBS remake, so I was looking forward to this production. I was very surprised. The script is superficial and the acting is workmanlike. That said, there were moments when I chuckled and appreciated some physical bits. But there's no substance to the piece. The director and actors are to be praised for putting a lot of energy into this production, and the set and costumes are lovely (as to be expected from a Heartland show), but I was left wanting more.
