Fringe: King In Exile

King In Exile explores some very real and serious issues interspersed with bizarre, theatrical nonsense. Although there isn’t a solid storyline and one can easily become lost, it’s quite entertaining and will have you pondering the meaning for days afterwards. The show cleverly delves into the struggles faced by immigrants, such as bullying and feelings of displacement; the passion behind the words makes it clear the issues ring true for the writer/director, Vlady T. Prepare for lots of perhaps unnecessary swearing, physical abuse and an unexpected ending very open to interpretation. 

Gasworks, The Clover Club, Melbourne Fringe Festival,  to 27 Sep
