    A poignant two-hander that takes place on a cross-town bus, bringing together Jimmy and Carol, two septuagenarians heading to dramatically different destinations. During the short ride, the seed is planted for a budding friendship and leaves us with a sense of hope and optimism. A lovely play by Robert Weibezahl.

    An unexpected conversation between two strangers on a bus opens up worlds for each of them. A delightful podcast on Theatrical Shenanigans, UK brought the play vividly to life. You'll think about these two characters long afterwards.

    Two strangers meet on a city bus and seem to have little in common. But a bond forms anyway leading to a sweet conclusion. This engaging play is full of warmth and gentle humor. It was a pleasure to read.
