The Plot of This Show

Two old thieves conspired to do one last big job before retiring due to their old age. By the way, the place that the two old thieves broke in to is a famous art museum like the Louvre. There are many famous works of art there, including the statue of Mona Lisa (a half-length of a woman) by the Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci and paintings such as The Scream by Edward Munch, etc. However, the two thieves don’t know the value of the paintings, so they only focused on the safe, which is the name of an art installation. In front of the safe, the two thieves had an argument about how much it will cost. Finally, they were caught by a watchdog and investigated by an agent of the NIS (National Intelligence Service). The investigator doubted whether the two old thieves had de facto power. The old thieves don’t have de facto power. Then there is the dramatic chats between the investigator and the two thieves. How did it end? If you’re wondering about the ending, then you had better watch this drama!

★★★★★/★★★★★

The reason why CP gave this drama 5 stars.

First of all, the actors interacted with the audience. From the beginning to the end of the show, the audience can participate in and play together on the stage. These section will help you enjoy the drama’s long running time. As a result, audiences are never bored. In addition, this play is realistic. In the middle of the show, an actor smokes a cigarette. Contrary to other plays, the actors actually smoked. This was a really shocking scene to the CP reporter. (Don’t worry about the smell of tobacco! After the scene, an air cleaner provided ventilation.) Lastly, this show not only provides fun but also momentum for examination for our lives. CP reporter is sure that this show gives us meaningful time to look over our social problems.
