Spies, murder, love and other trademarks of Alfred Hitchcock come to life in the style of a 1940s radio broadcast, complete with vintage commercials and live sound effects.
Spies, murder, love and other trademarks of Alfred Hitchcock come to life in the style of a 1940s radio broadcast of the master of suspense’s earlier films. Containing The Lodger, Sabotage and The 39 Steps, Vintage Hitchcock: A Live Radio Play is a triple feature, complete with vintage commercials, that recreates a daring train chase, a serial killer’s ominous presence and a devastating explosion through the magic of live sound effects. This spooky, exciting piece is perfect for any space, large or small.
A one-act version of this play, The 39 Steps: A Live Radio Play, is also available.
Vintage Hitchcock: A Radio Play was originally produced by the Legacy Theatre in Tyrone, GA, on 17 October 2008.

“It isn't about re-creating the films onstage, but exploring them in a different way.” – Lompoc Record
