Written by Conor McPherson
Directed by Michael McCall
Original score by Mia Brine

Performed by Allan Girod

Sent on a routine job, a hapless Dublin hard man finds himself caught between two crime bosses, and despite his own intentions becomes a fugitive for kidnapping and murder.

Add to this the dilemma of what to do with two newly acquired hostages - the wife and daughter of the man he was sent to deal with.

As its debut production, Flaming Locomotive presents the Australian premiere of The Good Thief by internationally acclaimed Irish playwright and 2006 Tony Award nominee Conor McPherson (The Weir, Shining City).

"...the finest dramatist of his generation..." - London Daily Telegraph

Combining the descriptive genius of James Joyce and the machine gun dialogue of Mamet, The Good Thief is darkly comic brilliance featuring Perth actor Allan Girod (Dealer's Choice, 2007 Maj Monologues).
