A challenge to the whirlwind obscurities of the Australian legal system and how far one will go to seek forever Asylum. I had the brilliant opportunity to endure the journey’s of five everyday Australian’s road to moralistic success through Ruth Fingret’s new work ‘Asylum.’ This work deals with the issues of disconnection, miscommunication, dishonesty and how whilst battling these issues all people just want to protect themselves and what’s important to them. The stylistic edgy, clean cut, fast-pace approach to these stories was juxtaposing, but intoxicatingly empathising to building these characters blackout by blackout. The space of Comber Street studios (Paddington, Sydney) further inspires the sterile conditions endured through the highs and lows of the multilayered plot.

The plot had the option to be a dry, beige memoir of an envious stamp collector and a feuding sister rivalry. But the lighting and set design, combined with the sublime directorial work forced audience to engage in the dark issues addressed through the minimalistic approach in text. I especially enjoyed the performance of ‘Mary’ (played by Emma Louise) who doubled as the dialect coach for the flavour-full accent work in the show. It could be as simple as the scratch of her leg or an anxious pull of her finger, but Emma’s naturalism pulled off character Mary’s ‘dying woman’ facade perfectly. I found most of the su...
