The Last Escape

About the Show: The Last Escape

One actor. One flaming theatre. One big mystery.

In The Last Escape, solo performer Mike Venables takes you on a thrilling, darkly comic ride through the final moments before a disaster — and the tangled past that led to it. Suspended high above the stage in a magician’s sack, actor Rafe Blackthorne is about to make the performance of his life… if he can survive it.

But someone wants him dead.

Through a whirlwind of vivid characters, razor-sharp wit, and emotional punch, this one-man show blends gripping storytelling with laugh-out-loud humour and unexpected heart. Think Fleabag meets Sherlock meets Houdini — all packed into one unforgettable evening.

🎁 Solve the mystery and win a prize — yes, really. The clues are in the story. Can you work out who tried to kill Rafe?
