HEIST at the Camden Fringe

HEIST is an intermedial theatre piece set in near future Dublin, where a city has lost its purpose, a country is losing the run of itself and the people have given into the madness. Unfolding across two timelines, from where it began to the current day debauchery, using film, sound and a couple of balaclavas.

Two self-identified “Working Class Heroes” set out on a heist so far out of their reach that it comes with a deadly cost… While back in 2024 Sarah calls into a late night radio show in search of solace, we learn of her disenchantment of current life and her worries for the future of her daughter, Ladybird.

“The city sleeps as the skyline breathes a little. The last twinkle recorded was about a year ago, before blinking red dots of metal ornaments began building. They sleep on a blanket of clouds in thin air as their council flats become someone else's wish.

From the rooftop overlooking their dystopia, The KID and Lady B stand watch - the guardians of their habitat. For as each night dissipates, so does a piece of themselves, and tonight might be their opportunity to reclaim a lost piece and give back.

Ireland has changed - it’s different - and this ‘not-so-dynamic’ duo has to serve justice… Dublin Style.”
