In THE GOOD THIEF, Conor McPherson draws a darkly-dramatic, soul-stirring portrait of a nameless Dublin thug. Sent on a routine job, he finds himself caught between two crime bosses - and against his own intentions, becomes a fugitive for kidnapping and murder.

THE GOOD THIEF was awarded the prestigious Stewart Parker Award in 1994, and its American debut in 2001 prompted Ben Brantley of the New York Times to say, “An hour, an actor, a harsh tale told quietly. That's about all that's offered in Conor McPherson's The Good Thief…But it turns out to be an abundance.”

Tony Award nominee Conor McPherson was born in Dublin in 1971. He attended the University College in Dublin where he began to write and direct. His plays include Rum and Vodka, The Good Thief, This Lime Tree Bower, St. Nicholas, The Weir (Olivier Award, Best Play), Dublin Carol, Port Authority, Shining City (Tony Award nomination, Best Play) and The Seafarer. Other awards include the George Devine Award; Critics’ Circle Award; Evening Standard Award; Meyer Whitworth Award.
