Review: Heistman

This is one cool show: though the piece doesn’t gel into an entirely cohesive and satisfying whole, the component elements of Heistman are sensationally well crafted and executed. Conceived and directed by Gabriella Barnstone and created and performed by her company el gato teatro, Heistman takes us, mostly, inside the psyche of its title character, a man who has holed himself up with hostages following a botched attempted armed robbery of a bank (think Dog Day Afternoon).
