Synopsis
Marcus is Walking - Scenes from the Road
Published by Dramatists Play Service
3 Male 3 Female
A protective father shepherds his son through the neighborhood on Halloween; an actor on his way to perform Hamlet provokes a rear-end collision and confrontation with a Czech émigré cab driver; a devastated businessman strikes up an unlikely alliance with a homeless woman who sleeps in his car
This is the landscape of human frailty and vulnerability, charm and strength; a playwright's whimsy combined with a shrewd sense of observation
Eleven vignettes in an automobile provide a marvelously offbeat, winning evening
"In Ackermann's hands, the maps that are not so easily read are what count. This is a play about connections and how we make them; how we get to where we are or where we are going, over roads that are not always so well traveled [a] remarkable, thoroughly engaging new play " ~ Berkshire Eagle
