The Return

The Return, by Perth playwright Reg Cribb, opens tonight at Melville Theatre, corner of Stock Rd and Canning Hwy in Palmyra. At midnight, on a hot summers night in 2001, two ex cons board the last train to Fremantle. Bored, restless and looking for trouble, they start to poke fun at their mind numbing existence. Until a beautiful young law student, steps into the carriage, alone, and seemingly unaware that the guards are on strike. But there's more to this young woman than meets the eye. And when two other passengers join the train further down the line, the balance of power takes an unexpected twist. Told in real time using one claustrophobic location, The Return is a tense psychological drama about five people who discover they are not the people they think they are. It's a story about class and prejudice, where perception seems more important than truth, and nobody knows who they can trust. Filmed as Last Train To Freo in 2006. Featuring the talents of Adam Shuttleworth, Jesse Way, Annabel Maclean, Penny Searle and Tom Walding. *Contains Coarse Language some may find offensive* ** Contains Strobe Lighting ** Playing: Feb 12, 13, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 27 @ 8pm Matinee: Feb 14 @ 2pm Tickets $17 full and $13 concession Bookings Phone - 9330 4565 Email - melville.theatre.company@gmail.com
