A courtroom comedy is coming to the Cornerhouse Theatre in Surbiton this October.

The play, called Honour Amongst Thieves, tells the tale of a chance encounter between three defendants who meet in the waiting room of a magistrates court.

The playwright Ian Callaway is a former senior crown prosecutor of 25 years who was diagnosed with clinical depression and severe stress and sought relief in creative writing.

Honour Among Thieves will be showing at The CornerHouse Theatre on Douglas Road in Surbiton from Thursday, October 11 until Saturday, October 13 at 7.30pm.
