BWW Review: THE 39 STEPS at TheatreWorks Silicon Valley is a brilliantly directed and acted rollicking spoof of Hitchcock's noir spy thriller The 39 Steps.
Director Leslie Martinson of THE 39 STEPS at TheatreWorks talks about finding the comedic rhythms in a 'nutball farce' and shares her experiences as a casting director. Martinson has been a TheatreWorks mainstay for decades, starting as an usher while she was still in school, then working as an actor before becoming a director and casting director. She left her staff position 18 months ago to go freelance, but has since directed two shows at TheatreWorks so still maintains a close working relationship with the Tony-winning company.

Directed by Leslie Martinson, The 39 Steps features four fearless actors playing 139 roles, stretching the boundaries of theatrical invention.

Political unrest and power grabs collide with weak leadership and civil strife as the country fights against the threat of tyranny.
