Escape for Dummies

Devised

Edinburgh

5–25 August 2017

Royal Terrace, Greenside

Dummy F’s routine consists of standing aloft a shop podium, pickpocketing customers and fruitlessly attempting to escape retail prison…

Until the day arrives when her dreary existence is toppled by the unboxing of Dummy M in the men’s section. He takes his position seriously and will not be distracted by such foolishness. But swift as a no nonsense check-out worker, an unspoken bond unique as the bar code attached to their clothes blossoms amidst the hustle and bustle of the shop, and together they hatch a plan to escape the drudgery of the store. Beyond the watchful gaze of bumbling security guards, maniacal watch dogs and a sinister floor manager, this is a story of two mannequins with love in their fiberglass hearts and freedom in their sculpted heads!

For the second show of the run, due to Kate O'Gorman being unable to perform, director Laurence Cuthbert had to step in. — Jack Ellis 2017-08-31

Show Materials

Escape For Dummies is an hour of pure joy – hilarious and giddy, yet with characters who make you care. Plan ahead for this one, because it's performing on odd-numbered dates only… and you'd have to be a dummy to miss it. FringeGuru: http://edinburgh.fringeguru.com/reviews/edinburgh-2017/escape-for-dummies
This play is a unique and hidden gem at the Fringe. It’s a rare show in that it is suitable for the entire family, as well as for deaf audience members. The Panoptic: https://thepanoptic.co.uk/2017/08/20/escape-for-dummies/
Escape for Dummies comprises an ensemble of five who all embody distinct caricatures in a masterclass of physical comedy. A simple escape plot sees two manikins come to life around a myriad of silent stunts and scenes that has the audience laughing from the very first moment. edfringereview: http://archive.is/5Eb4u
