The Thirty Nine Steps

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.

Murder Mystery Evening

🔒 MURDER MYSTERY NIGHT – CLASSIFIED EVENT – HALLOWEEN SPECIAL🔒

A crime has been committed… or will be. The details are sealed, the evidence is classified, and the story remains strictly under lock and key, although we have been made aware that the Halloween Holiday is heavily featured.

Presented by the College Players, this immersive Murder Mystery Night invites you into a world of intrigue, deception, and suspense — but be warned: no information will be released to the press. The plot is currently under protection by the “authorities,” and only those with the proper clearance (also known as a ticket) will be granted access to the truth.

Expect twists, suspicious characters, dramatic reveals, and an evening where nothing — and no one — is quite what they seem. Every glance matters, every detail counts, and everyone is a potential suspect.

If you think you can handle the secrets, secure your ticket and prepare to uncover what others are not authorised to know…

Loose lips sink plots. Access is limited. Mystery is guaranteed.

(Welcome Drink Included)

Most importantly, by purchasing a ticket you will be directly supporting Brentwood Theatre, as this special event is a dedicated fundraiser. Your attendance will help the theatre continue its work in bringing outstanding live performance, community projects and creative opportunities to the local area.

Brentwood School Presents

small

A compassionate and probing exploration of youth and ageing, nostalgia and regret, and the dangers of refusing to get old.

All children grow up, but what if they could grow back down again? A new medical process is being attempted, and it’s got an extraordinary aim: attempting to ‘de-age’ its volunteers back into young children.

The scientists don’t know if it’ll work. The doctors aren’t sure if it should. And the friends and families of those undergoing the risky procedure can’t understand why anybody would willingly do this in the first place… Why would you want to be small again?

An amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.

Running Time: 80 minutes including interval.

Content guidance: This play contains strong language and sexually explicit language, as well as exploration of adult themes including death, suicide, depression and neglect.
