Comedy writers Kevin Bleyer and Elliott Kalan, from Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, will host a special post-show talk back with the Off-Broadway cast of The 39 Steps, performing at New World Stages, following the Wednesday, September 8 evening performance.

Adapted by Patrick Barlow and directed by Maria Aitken, the play is a comedic take on Hitchcock’s 1935 classic thriller of the same name about a man who is forced by a mysterious woman’s death into a cross-country race for his life.

The current cast features John Behlmann as Richard Hannay, Cameron Folmar as Man #2, Jamie Jackson as Man #1, and Kate MacCluggage as Annabella Schmidt/Pamela/Margaret.

As previously reported, upcoming talk back guests will include journalist David Sax (Monday, August 30) and author Tom Santopietro (Monday, September 20).
