The Virtuous Burglar

At Riverside Studios, Hammersmith, London · 6 performances from Tue 6 Oct to Sat 10 Oct.

The life of a burglar is not an easy one at the best of times, and especially not when the man you’re trying to burgle turns up half way through the job. And doubly especially - not when that man is having an affair, your wife is calling, and you find yourself hiding in a clock. As the night goes from bad to worse for the eponymous burglar and his unsuspecting host, chaos descends into hilarity. Will anyone make it out of the house without going insane? A renowned socialist, Fo’s work is known for its comedy-lead dissection of society, its interrogation of the traditional jobs and family roles
