Now the ideal length for competitions and one-act festivals, Patrick Walsh has taken many of the fun and kooky passengers from his popular full-length Need a Lift?, and created a “compact” version that’s just as hysterical!
In a speedy series of duet scenes, your audience will ride along with drivers Angie and Theo as they experience the sheer insanity that is being a driver. Can it really be that crazy? Theo didn’t think so when he was Angie’s passenger, but after losing a bet to her, he’s paying up by being a driver himself for a month. Who knew it could get this crazy?! As he says, “First I’m talking too much. Then I’m not talking enough. One ride, I’m a therapist handling dead-Chihuahua ashes, in another I’m a getaway driver in a bank robbery. I’ve cleaned up puke and talked to puppets!”
Ride along with Angie and Theo as they deal with a wild, unpredictable, and absurd array of passengers day after day! It’s enough to drive anyone crazy!
