The Various Methods of Escape
 

Grace is 19 years old when she finally escapes 12 years in captivity. Once she returns to her family she is determined to establish a normal life for herself, but her captor Gregory won’t leave her alone. The play examines not only how Grace’s captivity affected her but also how it impacted each member of her family.

Written by Amber Spooner and presented by Mon Sans Productions in association with Actor's Anonymous.

"The Various Methods of Escape" was Inspired by the kidnapping of Natascha Kampusch and her thoughts on her captor as well as the victimization she experienced.

It was later developed through Script In Hand, an open mic script development program run by “Actors Anonymous” and picked up by “Mon Sans Productions”, a company that focuses on developing new artists.

    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.

    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.
