Nicked is sharp, irreverent and fresh
A HighTide production.
They gave me their vote. They gave me their trust.

May 2010. Two forty-somethings have lost an election.

Nicked. Politics you can dance to.
Nicked was performed at HighTide Festival 2011.
A short version of the play was conceived and performed at Theatre503 as part of Coalition in 2010.
