Canterbury: The Comedy About A Bank Robbery at the Marlowe Theatre

Love a bit of slapstick and a plot with more twists and turns than a twisty turny thing?

Then the latest show at the Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury is perfect for you.

It's been described as “Ocean’s Eleven meets the Marx Brothers” - and its successful run in London's West End speaks for itself.

The Comedy About A Bank Robbery has mistaken identities, hidden agendas and love triangles packed into its plot.

It is the latest from the award-winning team behind The Play That Goes Wrong.

Set in Minneapolis in the summer of 1958, it tells the story of a priceless diamond which has been entrusted to the city bank.

An escaped convict has his eyes on the prize, with the help of his screwball sidekick, trickster girlfriend and the maintenance man.

In a town where everyone's a crook, who will end up bagging the jewel?

Mischief Theatre first formed in 2008 by a group of graduates and students of The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. Their first major production was The Play That Goes Wrong, which began life being performed in a room above a pub, but ended up in the West End and on Broadway.
