Heist

Inspired by caper films like “Ocean’s Eleven”, “The Italian Job”, and “The Sting”, this fast-paced, high-stakes thriller is packed with double crosses, disguises, and daring escapes. When a team of professional thieves assembles to steal the world’s rarest jewels, the plan seems foolproof – until it goes spectacularly wrong. Tensions rise, betrayals mount, and “Heist” becomes a rollercoaster of adrenaline that will keep you guessing far beyond the final curtain.

Three Things to Know

  1. Written by Canadian playwright Arun Lakra, Heist is a whip-smart, high-stakes thriller that plays with time, memory, and perception—like Ocean’s Eleven meets Inception.  
  2. After premiering in Canada in February 2024, ATC gives Heist its US premiere with a theatre-bending spectacle unlike any production we’ve had on our stages before. 
  3. Lakra is also an eye surgeon and screenwriter — his previous play Sequence won numerous awards, including the Betty Mitchell Award for Outstanding New Play.
