From the playwright and actor who brought you HPT's award-winning production of St. Nicholas, Hyde Park Theatre presents Conor McPherson's The Good Thief: a small-time Irish hood's story, by turns funny, touching, and profoundly harrowing, of a simple job gone horribly wrong.

In their rave about the off-Broadway production, the New York Times said McPherson has "a sure gift for unsettling by stealth . . . hypnotic."

The HPT production features award-winning actor Ken Webster (Critics' Table Award for St. Nicholas & Thom Pain, B. Iden Payne Award for Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll).

The show runs at 8:00 PM on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, July 7 - August 6, 2011. Every Thursday is Pay What You Can Night; Friday, and Saturday tickets are $19 ($17 for students, seniors, and ACA members), except for the final weekend (August 4-6), when ticket are $21 ($19 for students, seniors, and ACA members). For reservations, call 479-PLAY or purchase tickets online at www.hydeparktheatre.org

      A wonderfully understated, matter- of fact delivery of such remarkable events! It's like Tony Soprano meets Daniel Day Lewis? Very effective lighting design delineating subtle changes in place... Expand

Very effective lighting design delineating subtle changes in place and time as well as psychological intent. The audience was with Webster from the word "pint"! Go see it! Collapse

      Listening to Ken Webster in The Good Thief is like sitting in a small living room and having a chat with one of the locals. Webster plays the small-town thug with ease, slipping on the persona and accent, as he tells us a story. He weaves his memories of the event - and we are drawn into his world, sometimes with humor, sometimes with sadness. The Good Thief is one of Irish-playwright Conor McPherson's earlier works, and the monologue is in good hands with Webster. Come pull up a chair in the snug, Irish room, sit back with your favorite beverage and wait to be drawn in to the story. Collapse
