"Freight" - a play in one act by Mark Lucas
Mon, 23 July 2007, 06:50 pmCast: 3 Female, 1 Male. Contemporary drama. (Running time 40 mins)
Precis:
“When hope is just another passenger”
When Erica Christie’s career as a television journalist dissipates, she escapes to the top of a skyscraper and comes face to face with two prostitutes, Dale Patrick & Tallulah, and their companion Strychnine. From here on, she must exorcise her personal demons while combating her stereotypical view of the world.
Author’s Note:
Freight is a very deep play that delves beneath the surface of human nature and stereotypes and produces characters and outcomes that attest to a faith in human nature as well as a lack of self-belief. It is an exploratory drama that challenges its players to be something more than what they are initially perceived.
Winner of 2 awards - 2000.
