From the creators of the Olivier Award-winning The Play That Goes Wrong, The Comedy About A Bank Robbery is a fast-paced caper full of slapstick, innuendo and mishaps that will have you laughing from beginning to end.
Set in the summer of 1958, a priceless diamond is entrusted to the Minneapolis City Bank. But an escaped convict is planning to steal the gem with the help of his screwball sidekick, trickster girlfriend… and the maintenance man. Through a series of mistaken identities, love triangles and hidden agendas, it turns out even the most reputable can’t be trusted. And in a town where everyone’s a crook and even seagulls are suspicious, what could possibly go wrong?
