Art Heist

Overview

Three Thieves break into the same gallery on the same night.

They’re all intent on stealing the same extremely valuable painting. They’re bound to meet and it’s bound to get messy.

Poltergeist present an existential caper, an interactive sketch-show, an exploration of how the brain curates the world, a tragedy about cognitive malfunction – an Art Heist play, but why label?

From the team behind the multi-award-winning Lights Over Tesco Car Park.

Produced by Poltergeist in association with The North Wall Arts Centre.

New Diorama / Underbelly Untapped Award 2019
