2015 Fringe Festival star Triple ByPass Productions will unveil its next show Den of Thieves, opening June 17th at Unit 102 Theatre. Teaming up with Director Scott McCulloch (Dracula: The Musical?), the company tackles Stephen Adly Gurigis’ dark comedy with a line up of colourful characters, each desperately wanting to turn their lives around.
Following its success at the 2015 Fringe Festival with Eric Bogosian’s Skunkweed, the company selected this rarely performed piece because of its complexity and comedic draw. Guirgis once said: “The good thing is that life is sometimes a work in progress,” an idea that is echoed in the main characters. Each from different backgrounds with questionable motivations, life suddenly places them on equal footing as they are thrust into a situation that forces them to reexamine their lives and their contribution to society.
