Teignmouth Players will be presenting John Buchan The 39 Steps at Pavilions Teignmouth next month.

Richard Hannay leads a boring life. So boring that he resorts to a trip to the theatre! An event which turns his world upside down as he becomes embroiled in the world of subterfuge, spies, the Scottish Highlands and…National Security.

His conscience compels him to head far north to the Scottish wilderness where he dodges evil villains and corrupt officials with equal aplomb and huge slices of luck, counting a flock of sheep among his rescuers.

The show runs at Pavilions from July 17 to 19. Ticket details are available from the venue’s website www.pavilionsteignmouth.org.uk.
