Jewel Thieves!

Reminiscent of the great screwball film comedies of the 1930’s, the comedy mystery Jewel Thieves!, by Norman Beim, adds a clever note of suspense to the laugh-inducing plot twists that are brought to rich life by Beim’s extremely witty dialogue.

A mysterious stranger is invited into the elegant country home of aging film legend Gloria Desmond, where he encounters a lovely young countess and a substitute butler. But is anyone really who they claim to be, especially when their names are Alfred, Lynne and Harold Busby? Or is it Busby Harold? The intrigue builds as their attention focuses on Gloria’s precious jewel, the legendary Mandarin necklace.

The Valley Press called the Santa Cruz production of Jewel Thieves! “A glittering feast…a hilarious ride to what becomes a full fledged mystery.” Jewel Thieves! features a stellar cast, including Broadway veteran Gerrianne Raphael, Davis Hall, Marnie Klar and Adam Raynen.

EXCERPTS FROM UNITED STAGES REVIEW

“Jewel Thieves! is a Gem…impeccably structured…an encouraging affirmation for the future of New York City theater…Jewel Thieves! is a fantastic example of a fun "whodunnit," and an admirable throwback to the theater of suspense and surprise.

Gerrianne Raphael, clearly a seasoned Broadway veteran, does a superb job at commanding the stage…Marnie Klar is delightfully deceptive as the countess…an absolute joy to watch.

The production design for Jewel Thieves! is nothing short of transcending.”
