Fugitive

Presented by Windmill in association with Adelaide Festival Centre's inSPACE Program

ROBIN HOOD RETOLD

It's a world where all bets are off. Corruption, sleaze and violence pervade.

When a young boy is brutally attacked, one guy and his crew take the law into their own hands seeking retribution and a new world order in the depths of a dark forest.

Young, sexy and invincible, the group lives large. But violence comes at a cost and Robin has secrets. Cracks appear and the friends face off. As they fight to keep it together, the enemy closes in and their world starts to implode.

In the unique theatrical voice of Australia's Matthew Whittet, Fugitive is an anarchic, hysterical, knife-edge ride with a direct line out of the psyche of a contemporary anti-hero.

By the director and designer team that created Windmill's The Wizard of Oz, Fugitive considers just how far a group of people will go for their ideals and the quest for justice? When does bad behaviour cross the line? And when do the oppressed become the perpetrators?

Champion of the underdog, a fleeing desperado, a modern-day man in tights.
