2015 Edinburgh Fringe

More details

The Heist is the latest concoction in Heretical Productions' anthology of original long-form pieces. Their style is one which, over the years, has developed into a unique fusion of chaotic comedy with elements of classic horror and thriller.

Delivered through their inimitable blend of slick physicality, eccentric characters and wicked humour, Heretical Productions' latest show follows the story of Marmaduke Blennerhasset - masterful thief and intrepid adventurer, who becomes entangled in the affairs of evil megalomaniac Antonio Superyacht (proud owner of the world's largest superyacht). As the story unfolds, Marmaduke finds himself torn between the love of his life and his own irrepressible urge for stealing.

With live musical accompaniment and more silliness than you can shake a stick at, The Heist transports you to desolate catacombs, uncovering arcane technologies and ancient relics of human endeavour, all while exploring the tumultuous affair between man and trees.
