EXTENDED THRU OCTOBER 27!
On the Fyda-Mar Stage…
Two strangers are waiting for the bus on a cold road at night… next to a cemetery. The bus is late. The woman’s coat is too thin. And this fast-talking teenager waiting at the same bus stop won’t leave her alone. He works hard to get her to talk to him, using everything from philosophical riffs to brash seduction. Just around the corner is a liquor store, whose owner is waiting for a special delivery. All three people have no idea what this fateful night holds in store… and that it may provide the answers they’ve all been looking for. Hamish Linklater’s funny and spooky debut play goes on a twisty journey exploring the important topics of life, death, and Doritos.
Recommendation: Ages 13 and up. Contains frequent use of adult language.
