As part of their crew, they hire small-time hustler Arthur Simon Simpson (Peter Ustinov) to act as their fall guy. When the Turkish secret police capture Simpson at the border, they persuade him to spy on his partners in crime, mistakenly believing that they're Communist agents plotting an assassination. About HEIST, by Arun Lakra, Directed by Blake Robinson: This theatrical caper is a high-tech mystery for the stage. When Marvin assembles a team of professional thieves to pull off one last job, the heist goes sideways into a web of danger, betrayal and double crosses. What follows is a high-octane production that will keep you on the edge of your seat with lasers, aerial stunts and state-of-the-art projections. Blending quick-witted banter and unexpected laughs with clever surprises and heart-pounding suspense, Heist takes you on a fun and thrilling ride. ComedyPT1H59MNR
