It's time for an escape, a getaway, a break out of a retirement home! Humbert Gregory is on the run, with an 18-year-old working on their summer holidays, pursued by a little old lady, two cops, his daughter and a staff member of the retirement home. Who knows where the road will take them.

It is always nice to see new works being performed during FRINGE WORLD. The University Dramatic Society has put together an 80-minute, one-act that looks at belonging, family and the effects of loss, written and directed by Tom Hemery.

The performances are solid and varied. It's always tricky when you have young performers portraying characters much older than they are, but all of the actors here take a solid swing at the physicalisation. There are some moments when the characters feel a little like they're in different shows, from an energy perspective, but all have their comedic moments (a Macca's run will never be the same).

Atmospherically, this show does a lot. The lighting and the soundscaping build the locations and really gift us the moods of the different scenes as well as the transition of time, especially those in the sprawling outback. The musical addition of a song that repeated throughout the show was a nice tie-in, giving us a nice motif to follow. The set is constantly changing, which does cause some significant scene change times. The set pieces evoke each location well, however, with good details included.

Nice to see some young actors stretching their performing skills, and always fun to see a new script come to life in a Fringe Festival environment. Worth a look if you like new works and to support local upcoming artists.
