Urban Stages will present post-show talkbacks following performances of Will Snider's DEATH OF A DRIVER directed by Kim T. Sharp. This limited engagement at Urban Stages (259 West 30th Street) runs through Sunday, March 24, 2019. Tickets for the show are $40 and may be purchased via OvationTix at www.urbanstages.org or by phone at 1.866.811.4111.
The play follows Sarah an American engineer and Kennedy an East African taxi driver as they strike up a friendship and embark on a journey to change rural Kenya building new roads. But when a disputed local election lands Kennedy in jail and threatens the work, Sarah questions the integrity of their alliance and wonders how well she knows the man she thought was her friend. Death of a Driver is a bracing examination of "doing good" abroad, the limits of understanding another person, and what happens when personal and political obligations collide. Theater Pizzazz called Death of a Driver "Intriguing and entertaining story that will keep you captivated and intrigued from start to finish. It is absolutely real, genuine, and completely believable in its entirety."
