OneFest Adjudicator’s Comments:

It is always good to have an original work that is distinctively Tasmanian.

Lewis has created three interesting characters who forge a connection whilst “waiting” - stuck in that liminal space between one thing and another, sharing their common humanity, reflecting and contemplating the future.

The bus, very attractively painted, was a simple setting for this transitory encounter.  The space was used well. The actors looked comfortable and natural in their roles.

Ticket to Deloraine was a sweet and charming exploration of the connection between the young and the old, where dreams have not been extinguished and the future is one of possibility.
