At the end of septemberThe Paget Rooms in Penarth are putting on ‘The 39 Steps’ based on the West End comedy re-invention where only 4 actors play up to 150 characters. I’ve wanted to go and see this in London for the past two years but thanks to privatised rail fares, extortionate hotel prices and £50 a pop for tickets to the show, I’ve sort of held off a little up to now.

This might be an interesting show for any of you that want to extend your acting range and want to see how others handle multi-character acting, and also for playwrights who want to see how a classic novel, written originally by John Buchan with the intention of writing a cheap thriller that you could buy for a shilling, can be turned into a brilliant comedy.

See you there. (Although. if you are there don’t feel the need to invade the stage, scream my name in desperation and then bombard me with requests for pink gins and cheap cigars for the rest of the evening)

Best Wishes

Dean
