FOLLOWING the sell-out success of its multi award-winning comedy The Play That Goes Wrong, Mischief Theatre’s Olivier Award-nominated West End smash hit The Comedy About A Bank Robbery plays a five-night run at Lighthouse, Poole’s centre for the arts, from Tuesday April 23 to Saturday April 27.
Descriebd as "a fast and fabulous comedy caper that has been hailed the funniest show in the West End", The Comedy About a Bank Robbery is set in the summer of 1958 in Minneapolis where the City Bank has been entrusted with a priceless diamond. An escaped convict is dead set on pocketing the gem with the help of his screwball sidekick, trickster girlfriend… and the maintenance man.
With mistaken identities, love triangles and hidden agendas, even the most reputable can’t be trusted. In a town where everyone’s a crook, who will end up bagging the jewel?
The touring cast features Seán Carey as Sam Monaghan, David Coomber as Neil Cooper, Julia Frith as Caprice Freeboys and George Hannigan as Everyone Else. The Comedy About a Bank Robbery is written by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields and directed on tour by Kirsty Patrick Ward.
There is now only limited availability on all shows during its Lighthouse run. For more details call 01202 280000 or visit lighthousepoole.co.uk
