TaDaa Productions present Reg Cribb’s The Return directed by Andrew Gray at the Trades Hall (Carlton) - Old Council Chambers from 3 - 19 June 2010 featuring Katy Brinson, Brendan McCallum, James Taylor, Emily Thomas and Anthony Winnick.
In his script notes, Reg Cribb explains that “The Return was triggered by an accident I witnessed on a suburban train – in front of a handful of commuters, two bitter, disenfranchised young men psychologically tortured a young female law student ... Apart from the claustrophbic confines of a train carraige being the perfect setting for an intense drama, the incident seemed to embody a lot of the frustration being felt in Australia today.”
“Drugs, mandatory sentencing, suburban alienation, the rapid acceleration and pressures of globalisation, and the absence of strong male role models are factors that have conspired to create this situation – we are losing our young men, not to war, but to an insidious battleground of the inner psyche. And women, more often than not, become the battle-scarred victims,” Cribb concluded.
TaDaa founder, James Taylor is proud to be part of an entertaining and confronting piece, “The Return will confront and challenge the audience ... this Australian work covers issues that occur everyday in public places and is becoming more and more topical.”
“Although we like to tell ourselves we would be brave enough to step in, once confronted you don’t really know how you may react,” Taylor explained.
