Overview

When stealing from a thief, there are no rules.

A band of criminals, torn apart by suspicion and betrayal, reunites for one last job. The target: a multi-million dollar ruby owned by an international jewel thief. When the plan goes sideways, they slowly realize that when stealing from a thief, there are no rules. Inspired by caper films like Ocean’s Eleven, The Italian Job, and The Sting, this high-stakes thriller is packed with double-crosses, disguises, and daring escapes.

Born at Constellation — now a runaway hit, grossing millions at box offices across North America — see the smash success return to where it all began!

Arun Lakra
Playwright

Arun Lakra has spent the last 20+ years dividing his work life between his creative pursuits and his medical career. His play Sequence won a bunch of awards – none greater than the Woodward/Newman Award – and has been produced across North America. His most recent play, Heist, was commissioned by your very own Chad Rabinovitz during his time at Bloomington Playwrights Project and will be seen on the main stages of five major regional theatres across Canada and the US in the upcoming 2026-27 season. Arun is also an ophthalmologist, and he enjoys sharing his embarrassing stories (from both worlds!) with medical students through his presentation, Mediscnes: Memories, Mistakes, and Lessons Learned from a Life in Medicine and the Arts. Arun lives in Calgary, Canada, with Roopa, Taro, Siya, and (woof) Zephy.
