About the production
In Depression-era Mississippi, an escaped convict robs banks across the South with his partners and falls in love on the run, in a fast, music-driven adaptation of Edward Anderson’s crime novel.
“It has been brilliantly directed by Kimberly Senior, whose ever bold and inventive spirit...helped create a deliciously cinematic (and also winningly Brechtian) piece of theater.”
— Chicago Sun Times, Hedy Weiss
“If you were wondering what the gifted Chicago director Kimberly Senior can really do with a moving stage picture, then the bravura results are on display here. 'Thieves Like Us' is perhaps the slickest and most polished show I've ever seen at the House Theatre...It is a fine caper, a great yarn, staged with relish, imagination, oomph and élan.”
— Chicago Tribune, Chris Jones
“Senior elicits strong performances from her supporting cast as well”
