Recommendations of Heist!

  • Lee R. Lawing: Heist!

    It’s like the wreck that you know is coming and you still cannot look away from Billy the kid or Gene Wilder as they stumble through their crime. That one thief chose Gene Wilder as his robbery name had me laughing from the start. Seeing this performed on stage would be such a treat the same as it would be for the lucky Marianne.

  • Aly Kantor: Heist!

    Lisa is one of the few playwrights who consistently has me laughing on page one! In this pseudo-immersive, direct-address short, the least-prepared thieves on earth are bested by their own morals as they attempt to steal a high-profile, notably cursed artifact. Still, the funniest character may be the off-stage docent, who plays the straight man to the two well-drawn clowns on stage! Somehow, by the end of this progressively goofy piece, you'll be rooting for the bad guys! This is a tight, engaging comedy for two energetic performers that would kill at any festival!

  • Dan Taube: Heist!

    Brilliant execution of a great idea for a comedy. These are the WORST thieves ever. Clearly they are not well suited to be thieves and it shows. Also loved the code names, especially GENE WILDER. Quick read with great laughs. You can’t go wrong with this one!
