This is the story of Thom and Alethea. Two neighbours in a West End apartment block, trying desperately to keep their lives from falling apart. And this is the story of the wall that stands between them, who has decided they belong together.

From the award-winning creators of Attack of the Attacking Attackers! comes a tall tale of whimsy, imagination and architectural enlightenment, performed by Lucas Stibbard.
 
The Escapists is a collaboration of award-winning contemporary independent theatre makers who value strong stories and an aesthetic that remixes traditional approaches to theatre and performance. The Escapists are Brisbane theatre-makers Jonathon Oxlade, Matthew Ryan, Lucas Stibbard and Neridah Waters and any number of guest artists they want to play with. The roles within the group are fluid with decisions being made as democratically as possible and with deference to all collaborators’ levels of experience pertaining to the area in question.

The Escapists offer a highly stylised and hybridised form of populist entertainment, drawing on an anarchic attitude to bring a startling and adventurous approach to theatre making. Contemporary, unique and exquisite, The Escapists aim to challenge prospective audiences to “Rethink Theatre”. Working beyond the conventions of the predominant text-based theatre, our aim is to produce adventurous high-quality performances that truly celebrate the imagination, theatricality, and the joy of play.
