Don't Go Into The Cellar - The Thirty Nine Steps

Don't Go Into The Cellar!
Award-winning actor Jonathan Goodwin writes and performs this brand new stage adaptation of the classic Edwardian spy thriller by John Buchan, memorably filmed by Alfred Hitchcock.
First published in 1915, this perennially popular thriller has been adapted by Jonathan Goodwin. He plays man-on-the-run Richard Hannay, falsely accused of a murder he did not commit.
He is pursued across the moors of Scotland by the nefarious Black Stone, a clandestine criminal organization hell-bent on plunging the world into a global war.
In a race against time, Hannay must evade capture and certain death at the hands of the criminals responsible, and prevent the assassination of a foreign dignitary by anarchist spies.
Jonathan Goodwin is one of the winners of The Hamilton Deane Award from The Dracula Society (former winners include Mark Gatiss and Benedict Cumberbatch).
