'The Good Thief' Comes to ³ÉÈ˶¶ÒõSeptember 12-14

SALISBURY, MD---Guest artist John Ebert inaugurates Salisbury University Theatre’s fall season with his solo performance of Irish playwright Connor McPherson’s The Good Thief.

 

Performances are Friday-Saturday, September 12-13, and Sunday, September 14. Curtain is at 8 p.m. Friday-Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday.

 

This dramatic contemporary work brings to life the fate of a hit man from Dublin, Ireland, as he reveals the day everything went wrong in his life. In his story, a failed shakedown leads to a tragic flight with two innocents and eventually prison.

 

“It’s got the feeling of a Roman Polanski or Quentin Tarantino movie to it,” Ebert said. “It’s gritty.”

 

Known for his work as a commercial director, Ebert is stretching his directorial – and in this case his acting – talents into other areas, including stage productions and films. His first feature-length movie, Fortunate Son, was filmed in Salisbury and premiered at ³ÉÈ˶¶Òõin May.

 

The Good Thief contains adult language and situations and is recommended for mature audiences only. General admission is $10, $8 for seniors. ³ÉÈ˶¶ÒõID card holders are admitted free.
