The 39 Steps

“The changes and accents are a tightrope act without a net, and watching them is pure pleasure... Suffice it to say that Warren and Price are a tour de force, fearless in their performances, which include several in drag that kill. That, and their virtuoso handling of outrageous props, are nothing short of amazing.”

-Gary Laird, BroadwayWorld.com

“Two highly agile men play everyone else: the villain and his evil wife, the police, English vaudevillians, a couple of Scottish innkeepers, a jealous farmer, etc. Mark Price and Bruce Warren - actors who can handle split-second costume/accent changes with more energy than a kettle on the burner.”

-Robert Donahoo, Houston Chronicle

“The entire ensemble – dozens of characters – are played by actors Bruce Warren (in his Alley debut) and Mark Price. They are the heart of this piece, cleverly switching costumes and accents quickly and often right in front of the audience. The applause for their antics stopped the show several times at my performance.”

-Christopher Grum, HoustonTheatre Blog

“Original and risky, this show is full of surprises... Bruce Warren plays Man Number One... extremely challenging multiple roles and must quickly move from character to character—something I found thrilling to watch. These two men must work in sync... From changing ages to professions to genders, these two are like watching a master class in versatility. What can I say? Super fun.”

-Doni Wilson, Houstonia Magazine

“It’s the supporting roles (more than 100 if one is keeping count) played by Mark Price and Bruce Warren in quick-change, quick-witted fashion that deservedly get the most laughs. A hat put on and taken off, a coat thrown over a uniform, Price and Warren continually impress with their ability to switch characters within a matter of seconds and with just a simple prop. A gorgeously timed train scene that has the pair playing dozens of characters, all confined to a rail car and later atop that same car in pursuit, is actorly simpatico in motion.”
