The Good Thief

THE GOOD THIEF by Irish playwright Conor McPherson opening March 24th at The Open Fist Theater reunites director Scott Paulin and award-winning actor Michael McGee from the critically acclaimed 2010 production of McPherson’s play for one actor, St. Nicholas. McGee stars in the whirlwind tale of a hard-drinking petty thug from the slums of Dublin whose obsession with the wrong woman nearly gets him killed. Call it Dublin Noir, The Good Thief is edgy and fast-paced, bullet-riddled, rain-soaked, darkly romantic, sardonically funny, and in the end deeply moving. The Good Thief is a rarely performed early masterpiece from one of Ireland’s greatest writers.
