The Return

Reg Cribb

A thug and his junior partner in crime take a late night train from Perth to Fremantle, menacing passengers along the way. For an hour they own the train. Riding the uneasy line between comedy and terror, The Return is a tautly written study in peer pressure, anxiety and suppressed violence in a social class which is often silenced.
