This is the plot of the play 'The 39 STEPS' that made triumphal entry into a castle in the UK, the USA, Korea and Hong Kong, And the best hit work of West End and Broadway. When The Dankook Herald went to Dong Soong Art Center in Daehak-Ro, people crowded around there because it was the last day of 'The 39 STEPS'. Before beginning the play, Some quizes offered fun to audience and the play finally started. We thought there were many performers while we were watching the play. They gave us a break and second part of the play began again. At the moment, we realized that just 4 actors were in the play. we were watching the highest peak of multi-play that 4 people of the stage change their roles into more than 100 other roles. Richard Henry's appearance that is tall and handsome captivated attendances, Soo-Yoeng Jung who played parts of Anna Bella, Pamela, and Margaret also has a good-looking and amazing acting, so we could not help concentrating on the play. Multi-man 1, 2. they seemed to be aware of themselves once they look their eyes each other. As many as 4 out of 5 players get in school or graduated at Dankook University. That fact made us have pride of our school.
