A funny, surprising, and charming take on the heist genre (of which there simply isn't enough material in theater). Shrike and Magpie are characters you end up rooting for, with a twist ending to their story that doesn't fail to make you laugh and smile. Another great play by Hayley St. James!

A hilarious, heartwarming, heist play that will leave you with a smile on your face at the end. I've never read anything like it - and it needs to be performed live ASAP!

A great take on the heist genre that embraces all of the joys of the genre and then bends them to create a satisfying and unique piece. A highlight of our student-directed one act festival.
