Step into Hitchcock’s Suspense Station

In a strange twist of fate, The 39 Steps itself is actually being showcased in another venue over the next two weekends. The Alcazar Ensemble will present Vintage Hitchcock: A Live Radio Play, Joe Landry’s stage adaptation of three of Hitchcock’s most renowned stories, October 11-13 and 18-20 at the Carpinteria venue. The thrilling world of Alfred Hitchcock comes alive as the suspenseful narratives of The 39 Steps – as well as Sabotage and The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog – are reimagined in a 1940s radio broadcast setting through dialog and live sound effects. The production comes complete with vintage commercials performed live, just as they were 85 years ago. Åsa Olsson, Lynne Herrell, and Leslie Vitanza AnneRenee direct.
