Colin and Frank are marooned on a desert island. All alone ... or are they? In the duos most ambitious project ever, an amazing whirling, pivoting contraption sits centre-stage transforming from an apartment block, to an aeroplane, to a palm tree and more. A massive computer-operated Judge improvises throughout Colin's trial for murdering Frank. Visually beautiful, "The Island" is first-class physical comedy.

The Island is Lano & Woodley's most ambitious and hilarious show ever! Col and Frank have survived a plane crash en route to a tropical hideaway.

An exciting adventure of high romance on a deserted island is turned into a total fiasco! No food. No shelter. No shortage of hilarious ways to aggravate each other. All they've got to survive on is... their wits. We'll miss them when they're gone!

The Island saw sell-out seasons at Adelaide Comedy Festival and Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2004.
