Pandora’s Box Theatre present Burglar Bill at Blackheath Halls

Saturday 28 March at 3:00 PM/ £7


Who’s that creeping down the street? Who’s that climbing up the wall? Who’s that coming through the window?


Every night Burglar Bill has stolen fish and chips and a stolen cup of stolen tea for supper, then he swings a big stolen sack over his shoulder and goes off to work, stealing things. One night Burglar Bill steals a nice big brown box with little holes in it. He takes it home, but what he finds inside throws his nightly routine into hilarious chaos and ultimately changes his criminal life forever.
