Theives Like Us

Chris Jones, Tribune: "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, where such qualities have rarely been the strongest suit. It is a fine caper, a great yarn, staged with relish, imagination, oomph and élan. On opening night, most people were having a great time. But I've also seen House shows with more heart, more yearning, and more vulnerability."
