Lyric Poetry & Drama

The price of accidental fame is hashed out in this comedy about a famous bank robber and the clerk who foiled his biggest heist. Alan Ayckbourn's 1988 play anticipates the popularity—and absurdity—of reality TV.

An L.A. Theatre Works full cast performance featuring:

Rosalind Ayres as Jill Rillington Jane Carr as Trudy Parks Kenneth Danziger as Douglas Beechey Martin Jarvis as Vic Parks Ian Oglivy as Kenny Collins Yeardley Smith as Sharon Giffin

Directed by Robert Robinson. Recorded before a live audience at the Guest Quarters Suite Hotel, Santa Monica in February of 1994.
