The
Return, written by Reg Cribb, is a raw edged drama set on a late
night train between Perth and Freemantle in Western Australia. But
as well as being raw edged it has plenty of humour as well and no
emotion is spared as each character inter reacts with the others
Steve
and Trev are two yobbos, ex-jailbirds, looking for trouble, but
when student Lisa joins the train testosterone rears it's ugly
head and the final additions of a housewife and a writer join the
cocktail is complete.
Each
has a story to tell, at times one can almost smell the tension,
this is a volatile mix and something has to give. I will not say
what, but I really would recommend you go, and find out for
yourselves.
Alistair
Scott-Young and Roman Vaculik are suitably menacing as Steve and
Trev, Melanie Vallejo as Lisa, Irene Tunis as the housewife
together with the Writer portrayed by Caleb Lewis certainly add
their talents to complement an excellent set and tight direction.
This is certainly a gem.
