Where in North Dakota is Carmen Sandiego?

by Patrick Flynn

The North Dakota plain. A woman in a red trench coat and hat and androgynous figure in a striped shirt, striped stocking cap and glasses find themselves both hiding. One wanting to avoid capture, one wanting to be found.

Where in North Dakota is Carmen Sandiego?

  • A.J. Ditty: Where in North Dakota is Carmen Sandiego? by Patrick Flynn
    “

    A dazzlingly silly and deeply haunting tragicomedy, Where in North Dakota is Carmen SanDiego? is the surprising adaptation of Waiting for Godot I never knew I needed. Flynn’s adept ear for dialogue and comic timing leads, through discussions of acronyms and geography, to a beautifully humane depiction of two characters forever on the run, forced at long last to stay in one place and reckon with themselves, each other, and their place in a wild, indifferent universe. It's got heart, humor, and a scene where Inspector Gadget fires a confetti cannon. Excellent.
