Plotting a Heist 07/13/2010
Don't worry, we haven't turned the theatre company into a den of thieves. We are instead working on our fourth show of the season, The Great Heathersby Heist! Brian Tuttle's first draft of this new work was read out loud for the first time last week amid lots of laughter and bad accents. You like Transylvanian accents too, right? The Great Heathersby Heist World Premiere by Brian Tuttle The Heathersby House is a beautiful museum in the heart of Boston that features a priceless heirloom art collection. Unfortunately, the museum is only famous for one thing: theft. Twelve years ago thieves made off with $20 million in paintings. Now three down-on-their-luck friends see opportunity where others see only empty frames. If someone else could steal paintings, why couldn’t a trio of bumbling idiots make off with some artistic loot too? In this world-premiering comedy, everyone comes for the art—but they stay for the heist. Weekends of April 8 & 15, 2011 See photos from the play reading Check out our upcoming season CommentsLeave a Reply |
