To what do we owe the sudden success of a low-tech farce in which four actors play dozens of roles and, using little more than trunks and ladders, re-create one of Hitchcock's most complicated (for its time) British thrillers? Perhaps it’s that The 39 Steps as rejiggered by trailblazing comic minimalist Patrick Barlow, which won an Olivier at the West End and transferred quickly to Broadway, is the anti-Disney performance. For anyone a tired of watching children's fluff blown out with multi-million-dollar pyrotechnics, this loving send-up of the 1935 spy caper (which, incidentally, we recommend you Netflix right now) is exactly what you're looking for. — Boris Kachka
