BOX OFFICE:
Award-winning Thief is the hard-hitting play from Liam Rudden – director of Killers (★★★★★ Brighton Argus), writer of Silence In Court (★★★★★ Edinburgh Evening News) & director of the award-winning Cock And Bull Story).
Sailor thrives in the bars, dives and doss-houses of the most squalid ports. Look and you will see him.
Sailor lives for robbery, imprisonment and expulsion. Be his victim.
Sailor’s virtues are simple: rent, theft and betrayal. Join him.
Inspired by the life and works of vagabond poet Jean Genet, Thief is a dark and disturbing piece of theatre.
Not for the easily offended. Contains nudity

“This is the real deal. A no holds barred piece of theatre – not for the faint of heart.”
– EdinburghGuide.com
★★★★★ “Believe the hype! Great drama has the power to inform, to move people and make shifts in consciousness… this play has all this in bucket loads.”
– Sarah Agnew, Brighton Argus
“Robertson’s anti-hero coaxes us into his debauched world with a rich, layered tale of poverty, criminality and vice that will resonate long after the final curtain falls. Don’t miss it.”
– Gary Flockhart, Edinburgh Evening News
★★★★★ “Thief is something else, dark, disturbing and sometimes hard to watch. A real tour-de-force by Matt Robertson. See!”
– Glenn Chandler, creator of Taggart
“Sensational… Ferocious… Acted with great intensity. A memorable hour of theatre.”
– Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman
OUTSTANDING “In a first class production such as this, where the audience is hanging on every word, the ideas and issues spring naturally out of the action, nothing feels forced.”
– fringereview.com
“Tantalisingly layered, cloaked in the dreamy mingling of pain, sex, beauty and desire.”
– Broadway Baby
★★★★★ “Well written, beautifully performed, and with enough nudity to cheer up the darkest wet stormy night.”
– Kinny Gardner, Principal Guest Artist of the Lindsay Kemp Company
“Matt Robertson is absolutely commanding as Sailor; he projects a manic energy merely through a dangerous glint in his eye… no one coughed; at times I’m not sure they even dared breathe.”
– GScene
“Thief is a powerful, harrowing play, which highlights everything that’s good in our world by showing us a reality without it.”
– FringeGuru.com
★★★★★ “Stunned by Thief at Brighton Festival, with a blisteringly truthful performance by Matt Robertson do not miss!!!”
– Kevin Wilson, KWPR
“A one-man show that should, if there’s any justice, be a sold-out run during this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe.”
– All Edinburgh Theatre
“Rudden’s script is skilfully written… It both challenges and entices, including charming descriptions of even the crudest scenes.”
