THEFT
A Comedy By ERIC CHAPPELL
John Miles (Leslie Grantham) is successful, determined and wealthy. When he returns from dinner out with wife Barbara and best friends Trevor and Jenny to find his house has been burgled, he's furious, particularly as the burglar may still be in the house. And when the local copper appears from nowhere, John assumes they have found their bumbling burglar, Spriggs (Roy Hudd). But as Spriggs starts to expertly manipulate, cajole and corrupt them, we begin to wonder if he's much, much cleverer than they think. With a hidden safe, childhood rivalries, guilty secrets and everything to lose, five very different people play an escalating and hilarious game of cat and mouse...
'A joy throughout... every five minutes the plot takes another twist, throwing hilarious lines at the audience... magnificently conceived... an evening of sheer delight, full of action laughter and ingenuity...' Bucks Advertiser
