The Films of Alfred Hitchcock
“The Films of Alfred Hitchcock” will be the focus of a Sunday Symposium at Westport Country Playhouse, on October 27, following the 3 p.m. matinee performance of “The 39 Steps,” based on Alfred Hitchcock’s 1935 film. The Symposium will be hosted by Mark Shanahan, Playhouse artistic director, and director of “The 39 Steps.” The Playhouse Sunday Symposium program is free and open to the public, beginning at approximately 5 p.m. Shanahan’s talk will be followed by an interactive dialogue with the audience.
A dedicated Hitchcock scholar and fan, Shanahan taught a course at Fordham University titled, “The Films of Alfred Hitchcock,” for over 21 years. “Ever since my father took me to see a double feature of ‘The 39 Steps’ and ‘The Lady Vanishes’ when I was a boy, I have loved the films of Alfred Hitchcock,” said Shanahan. “This symposium promises to dive into just some of the wonderful anecdotes, storytelling techniques, and signature cinematic details that make Alfred Hitchcock the Master of Suspense!”
“The 39 Steps” is about an international spy ring trying to steal British military secrets in the 1930s. Unflappable hero Richard Hannay goes on the run from dangerous enemy agents and femme fatales in a surprising and hilarious adventure that will keep the audience on the edge of their seats. The story is told through highly inventive stagecraft – a daring police chase over tops of high-speed trains, a frightening jump from a bridge, a thrilling plane pursuit in the Scottish highlands. Four actors play over 100 characters with rapid changes of costumes, wigs, mustaches, and accents. The two-time Tony and Drama Desk Award-winning show runs from October 22 through November 9.
