Checklist For An Armed Robber

$23.99

In 2002 , a young man rehearses for his first armed robbery on a bookstore in Newcastle. On the other side of the world, Chechen rebels hold seige of the Moscow Theatre, demanding liberation. One is a local, small time theft and the other an international political crisis, but both are born of a similar futility and powerlessness to be heard.

Moving back and forth between Moscow and Newcastle, these real events are the basis for this exploration on what drives such acts of terror and the impact they hold on the victims - the perspective from both ends of the gun.

REVIEW: CHECKLIST FOR AN ARMED ROBBER BY VANESSA BATES

LENNY ANN LOW, SYDNEY MORNING HERALD, 16 OCTOBER 2006

"The cast - Tom O'Sullivan, Nina Pearce, Kate Sherman and Johann Walraven - is highly adept at balancing and conveying Bates's interweaving strands. Symes's clear direction allows us to start to understand the passionate and confused thoughts of people driven to endanger innocent lives or risk their own to prevent the suffering of others."
