The Various Methods of Escape (UK Premiere)
Tuesday, December 3, 2024 -- Saturday, December 14, 2024, 1900 - 2100
The Various Methods of Escape
produced by Mon Sans Productions, written by Amber Spooner, directed by Liviu Monsted
A bold 2 act Australian play about moving past traumatic experiences.
Grace has finally escaped 12 years in captivity. Once she returns to her family she is determined to discover a life for herself without the constant prescience of her captor. Grace's kidnapping not only affected her but also each member of her family. Her father is racked with guilt and shame, her mother loses her identity in the fight to find her and her sister just wants permission to be her own person. This play examines how society comprehends and rationalises such an atrocity, leaving the audience to question their perceptions and beliefs.
"The Various Methods of Escape" premiere's in London after an acclaimed sell-out season in Sydney, Australia.
Cast:
Maisie Tiedeman – Grace / Mitch Howell – Gregory / Michelle Huirama – Mother / Violet Fink - Hope / Mark Brent - Father

Production History
The Various Methods of Escape is Amber Spooner's first play, written as part of ‘The Hive' program run by "The Street Theatre" in Canberra in 2019. It was later developed through "Script In Hand", an open mic script development program run by "Actors Anonymous" in 2020.
After seeing segments of the play at "Script In Hand" I saw the audience's fascination with the premise, and I was compelled to produce the show under the Mon Sans Productions banner.

The show battled through 2 years of Covid lock downs before finally premiering in 2022 to full houses at the Actor's Pulse in Sydney Australia.
Given the universal themes and alluring premise of this play, it feels like a perfect fit for Mon Sans Productions first step into the London theatre scene.
