Two Thieves - Drama on Newstalk
7 September 2021 - 47 mins‘Two Thieves’, a darkly-comic audio drama written by Hugh Hick and produced by Heather MacLeod.
In an alternate dystopian society, two criminals are up for the public vote on a Government-sponsored radio programme – and only one can be saved. With echoes of Beckett, a biblical story becomes a contemporary exploration of populist rehabilitation and political manipulation, and whether in a world run on the fingertips of snap judgements and mob rule, can anyone really be saved? Bleak and comic in equal measures, Two Thieves holds a lens up to the things we think we know about the people we’ve never met.
The drama features Mary Murray, Matthew Malone, Michael James Ford and Margaret McCauliff...
