Oliver Samuels returns in a must-see comedy with Glen Campbell: Assistant Thief – Lots of laughter. – November 4,10 & 12 in South Florida

Assistant Thief – Lots of laughter.

South Florida theater lovers are in for a hefty treat as Jamaica Awareness, Inc., and Riddims Marketing presents Patrick Brown’s laugh-a-line comedy, Assistant Thief. Four performances are scheduled, beginning at the at William T. Dwyer High School in Palm Beach Gardens on Saturday, November 4th at 8:00 p.m., then on to the North Miami Beach Performing Arts Center on November 10th at 8:00 p.m. The play makes a rare South Miami-Dade appearance at Richmond Heights Middle School, November 11th at 8:00 p.m. and closes the run at Coral Springs Center for the Arts on Sunday, November 12th at 7:00 p.m.

Assistant Thief is largely a three-hander starring Oliver Samuels as Moses Matalon (Mo), Glen Campbell as Joseph James (Joe) and Camille Davis as Flo. Mo and Joe are two thieves who break into an upscale home on the same night, while Flo is the residence’s disturbed occupant, who happens upon them.

A large part of the play’s humour lies in the differences between Mo and Joe, some physical humour and much malapropism. While Joe takes his profession seriously, and believes in having some kind of principle and work ethic. Mo on the other hand, is a specialist pick- pocket who branches out on occasion and is now trying his hand at robbing houses. These two will clearly steal anything and sometimes have to squabble over who gets to steal what.

In large part, Assistant Thief plays around in fantastically fun silliness much of it surrounding Mo’s ignorance complicated by gross stupidity. As such, by the time Mo declares, “We’re morons”, (though he intended to say, ‘we’re mormons’) you have to believe him.

Of course both Samuels and Campbell are fantastic at comedic timing and as such they work well together maximizing the jokes. Davis is able to hold her own and she slips between the two well, especially as she is allowed to give a more serious performance and as such does not need to produce great comedic delivery.
