Comedy About a Bank Robbery

- Joyce Mcmillan

Feel like an evening of pure theatrical fun and breathtaki­ng ingenuity? Then head for the King’s, Edinburgh, where the company that gave us smash- hit slapstick shows The Play That Goes Wrong and Peter Pan Goes Wrong present their finest work yet, in this dazzlingly inventive spoof on the mid- 20th- century American heist movie. The scene is Minneapoli­s, where an escaped criminal and a gang of corrupt prison warders plot to rob the local bank of a huge diamond; and the show emerges as a masterpiec­e of its kind from writers Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields.

King’s Theatre, Edinburgh, 14- 18 May, 0131- 529 6000
