The humour is universal and the various American accents only enhance the comedic elements. The set is basic but functional and makes the most of the space available, with a rather ingenious solution to staging scenes in a car.The play is rather Altman-esque (as in Robert Altman, the film director) in structure. There are many story strands woven together and as we get to know the characters, we discover where their stories intersect. In this way Claire’s journey is also the audience’s voyage of discovery. The audience is experiencing everything for the very first time – just like Claire.
