AWOL

Two old men escape from a care home and go to a metal festival.

Cyril doesn’t like old people, which is a shame because he is one. When he learns his estranged granddaughter, Lily, has her big break with her thrash metal band, Abscess, he and his friend Neville are determined to show up and support her. Neither of them will ever be the same again.

AWOL is a feel-good adventure caper with a positive message about ageing. Fresh from a sold-out tour of Canada:
★★★★★ “Comedy gold… a pleasure to watch from start to finish.” Edmonton Journal, Alberta
★★★★★ “A headbanging great time” Saskatoon Star Phoenix
“Screamingly funny.” UMFM Manitoba

AWOL is a feel-good adventure caper about discovering you still have plenty to offer. It’s a celebration of taking risks and the joy of unexpected surprises.
