Due to the closure of theatres in accordance with the UK Government and SOLT's advice, The Comedy About a Bank Robbery played its last performance on Sunday 15 March 2020.

When people think of what an understudy does, I tend to assume they're imagining us sitting in the dressing room, smashing through a Netflix series and a packet of biscuits every evening, patiently waiting to have our turn in the spotlight. But the reality of a Mischief understudy is you're already in the spotlight and the second cover is furiously flicking through the script. Just because you're the second cover, doesn't mean you won't go on. Oh, you will. It's just a case of when.
