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."
