This recording of The Thirty Nine Steps is actually taken from a rehearsal, not the production itself - this is for a couple of reasons. Most importantly, the actual recording is of such poor quality that it is a bit of a struggle to follow. Secondly, dress rehearsals for the Mercury Theatre were fairly polished affairs (if they happened at all), and the performances match that of the final production fairly closely.

The Thirty-Nine Steps is a 1915 adventure novel by the Scottish author John Buchan. It is the first of five novels featuring Richard Hannay, an all-action hero with a stiff upper lip and a knack for getting himself out of tricky situations.
