The Comedy About a Bank Robbery by Mischief Theatre. With Alec Guinness, Peter Sellers, Cecil Parker, Herbert Lom.
The Comedy About a Bank Robbery ratchets up the hilarity from its opening pun-fest through trouser-dropping farce to an explosion of acrobatics and false perspectives in the climactic jewel theft. She targets a roomful of safe deposit boxes worth millions in cash and jewelry along with a treasure trove of dirty secrets. Things get out of control when Doman, an eager and saintly traffic cop, is asked the play the role of the bank robber in a robbery intervention police training program.

Instead, we are given a stylish 50s crime caper that blends in countless moments of slapstick, mistaken identity and shameless punning. Written by Henry Lewis, Henry Shields, and Jonathan Sayer (also behind Mischief Theatre's The Play That Goes Wrong at the Duchess Theatre until October 2019 and Peter Pan Goes Wrong), The Comedy About a Bank Robbery is set in Minnesota's largest city during the hot summer months of 1958.
The Comedy About A Bank Robbery is the first of Mischief’s big West End productions, not to ‘…Go Wrong’, so to speak, as a performance of an amateur dramatic group’s haphazard performance. Self-described on their website as Summer 1958.
