Description

In Narrow Escape, the prisoners of Unit 9 face a life-changing choice when a stranger appears among them, claiming that he can guide them to freedom. The characters’ motivations gradually reveal themselves as each person must decide whether to trust the guide and follow him across the minefield that surrounds the prison.

Although humorous at times, this drama seriously considers human and divine nature through memorable images and characters. Speaking to both non-Christians and believers, this allegorical play powerfully represents the chains from which Christ longs to free us.

The play has a cast of 19 characters (with doubling possible) and a running time of 40-45 minutes. Check out our Narrow Escape board on Pinterest to view photos from past productions!
