Overview
The Haymarket Theatre in Basingstoke commissioned The Great Escape as a TIE play in 2002. It became highly acclaimed on its first two professional tours and seems set to rival Too Much Punch For Judy as one of Mark's all time popular plays. The story centres on two truants - Corey who claims to be 'addicted' and Chalkie who views himself as a 'casual truant'. The play explores their past through a task they are set by a surreal Big Brother like figure. The loser will be in for some dramatic Big Bother...who will lose...what will this bother be?
