Loot

About the show

A darkly funny biting satire of the Roman Catholic Church, social attitudes to death, and the integrity of the police force, Loot follows young thieves Dennis and Hal, who rob the bank next door to the funeral parlour where Dennis works and hide the stolen money in Hal’s mother’s coffin. When Inspector Truscott arrives to investigate, the pair do everything they can to throw him off the trail aided by Nurse McMahon and Hal’s long-suffering father, Mr McLeavy. What follows is a whirlwind of cover-ups, escalating confusion, and brazen audacity, filled with razor-sharp dialogue, physical farce, and increasingly outrageous twists that spiral into the absurd as everyone scrambles to stay one step ahead.
