Inescapable

Written by

Martin Dockery

Directed by

Vanessa Quesnelle

Starring

Jon Paterson & Martin Dockery

Two old friends find themselves trapped at an annual holiday party in this tight whirlwind of a thriller. As they attempt to escape the never-ending celebration, a puzzle slowly reveals itself, exposing the betrayals and deceits that go

hand-in-hand with a lifetime of friendship.

"Inescapable is mesmerizing… A circular buzz saw of a play… in the friction of the spin, it gives off tiny, glinting revelations like sparks off a metal rail. And, thanks to the intricate infrastructure devised by Dockery, a mid-life crisis story of betrayal and lost possibility emerges without getting told.” –Edmonton Journal

"Inescapable is a hilarious non-stop, high-energy, rapid-fire 45 minute dialogue that is really about, well, nothing. A sort of Groundhog Day meets No Exit meets Waiting for Godot meets... just about anything you want.” –Edmonton Sun

"Inescapable is a Mobius strip of a play that’s sure to fill your inner geek with glee… A really clever script with some very tasty dialogue… An excellent opportunity to let your brain run wild and crazy for an hour.” -CBC
