While we were in New York in January, we went to see a production of The 39 Steps on Broadway.
It was a tour-de-force of clever stage technique, and quite funny in a sly, clever way–all the more so because it is exactly the same story as the Hitchcock film of the same name, but with everything slanted just enough to make you laugh.
I just thought of that because on the link in the Sandman story just now, there was a pointer to The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Black Dossier which incorporates elements of the same story.
I liked Black Dossier much less than I did the other League material. Just, you know, for what it's worth.
