Loot

Loot is a black comedy and manic farce. It follows the fotunes of two young thieves, Hal and Dennis, who rob a bank next door to a funeral parlour and hide the loot in Hal's recently deceased mother's coffin, hiding her body elsewhere in the house.

With the arrival of Inspector Truscott, the plot is turned on its head.

Loot features performances by an ensemble cast of NIDA second year actors.
