Description

Up to what age are we still capable of messing everything up? It's summer. In Edinburgh. It's raining. In a bar, Helena, a lawyer, waits for her lover, who won't come, and Bob, a petty crook, waits for the keys to a stolen pink convertible, reading "Notes from Underground" by Dostoevsky to cheer himself up.<br><br> It's the start of a wild weekend, a crazy road trip, improbable encounters, and frantic chases. How long does it take for us to throw everything away? When everything falls apart, isn't the unexpected the only saving grace? David Greig speaks to us, with humor and sensitivity, about the passage of time, unspoken secrets, the fading of youth, and the complexity of choices.<br><br> A play with a unique, highly cinematic dramatic structure. In the vein of films like "Little Miss Sunshine," "Juno," or "Away We Go." You leave with a light heart and a happy soul, with the feeling of having learned something or been reminded of something beautiful.
