Staatstheater Nürnberg Drama The 39 Steps

Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy Buchan spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python and The 39 Steps is created.

The two-time Tony Award-winning treat is packed with nonstop laughs, a huge number of zany characters (played by a ridiculously talented cast of four), handcuffs, missing fingers and some good old-fashioned romance.

The show is presented by Staatstheater Nürnberg, one of Germany's largest comprehensive theaters, which is dedicated to all types of music, dance and drama works.

7:30 pm, June 28-July 1. Multifunctional Theater, National Center for the Performing Arts, 2 West Chang'an Avenue, Xicheng district. 010-6655-0000

Ticket: 180-380 yuan
