Next, I made my way down to Fairfield Hall for Home Free!. The play was written by famous playwright Langford Wilson and focuses on two characters, a brother and a sister who are caught between the real world and their fantasy world. They live together in an apartment that looks like a children’s bedroom with their two imaginary friends. They play husband and wife in their fantasy, but take it a bit too far when they actually conceive a baby.
Besides the heavy and quite dark content that makes up the play, it had a lot of strong elements. The set was perfect. Although it was bigger than most Fringe sets, the scattered toys and vintage look gave the play a realistic touch. The actors were fantastic, especially when put into such difficult roles. For me, the content was a bit too disturbing and it took me a while to get past the incest and creepy imaginary world. It was very well executed and a great piece of theatre but I would suggest watching something lighthhearted afterwards.
