the roadtrip
the roadtrip:
it is a true story.
the roadtrip is the untooled
(read: slightly edited)
correspondence
between two strangers.
it became our story.
and then
it became this play.
"censoring?," you ask.
ok...maybe a teeny weeny bit.
the entire transcript would take
twelve hours
to perform.
we took out a few hundred pages
and some uckies
so you wouldn't squirm too much.
too much information is,
umm,
too much information.
for us, the roadtrip
is personal.
our audiences tell us
it is powerful
and connects them
to their own stories.
the roadtrip is relevant.
technical requirements:
the roadtrip
is simple
and intimate.
staged
in the potent tradition of
AR Gurney's Love Letters,
the roadtrip
a two-act play
(run-time approx 2 hours)
can be performed anywhere
with minimal technical requirements.
a play
about love and divorce, art and emptiness,
grace and loss, aging and parenthood,
& ultimately, making sense of the mess, the chaos, and the exquisiteness of life
"it's a big story!
a universal story.
perfect for people who have experienced...well...life."
"like a
good foreign film,
this play
is not showy;
it's real.
it's about relationship. and,
like a mirror,
we could
see ourselves
in it."
