THE GETAWAY BUS

$5.40$15.00

Avoiding his strange new world, an insecure young immigrant, Thomas, spends his days on the bus from Mirrabooka to Mundaring Weir, until he meets Moffy, a Welsh girl who introduces him to a local acting school full of young immigrants. Enraptured by Moffy, Thomas gets caught up in the venomous politics of amateur dramatics, leading to cruel betrayals, murder, a thrilling escape and a surreal struggle with redemption.

Winner of Best Drama, 2000 Western Australian Fringe Festival.

"An amazing one-man performance... a joy to watch... Knight's script is like a fine scalpel."—XPress Magazine

"... an insightful, hilarious offering. Above all, it's a ripping yarn... all class."—Sunday Times

"... reminiscent of Peter Carey or Elizabeth Jolley ... full of humour and honesty... well worth the ticket."—The West Australian

"Knight is a rare animal, a gifted writer and polished performer of his own material... he has a particular genius for acute, often autobiographical observations.—The Australian
