Minutes from the Blue Route
THE STORY: MINUTES FROM THE BLUE ROUTE unfolds over the course of one weekend as a family packs and unpacks their house, trying to consolidate four lives into one U-Haul truck. While tripping over each other on the way to work, weddings, picnics, trains and planes, each family member discovers more about themselves and each other. Tempers flare, truths emerge, and dreams collide with reality, as they all wrestle with their fears and defend their definition of “home."
“[a] very sad, very funny new comedy…MINUTES explores weighty topical issues with witty, skillful indirection.” —The New York Times.
“…MINUTES is a stylishly written, comic and…affecting play that works because Donahgy knows how to imbue his characters with emotion.” —Time Out New York.
“…playwright Tom Donaghy has an uncanny ear for the words that land unheard in day-to-day life.” —Backstage.
