Don't Wait for the Marlboro Man

Two very different people meet in a hospital. Sarah has just received news of her partner's motorcycle accident and rushed out of her office, cell phone in hand. Word has also reached Pedro, the hospitalized man’s good-natured motorcycle buddy. For Sarah, Pedro and his motorcycling pastime embody a naïve, nonsensical way of life, which she rejects. Meanwhile, Pedro wonders why Sarah keeps receiving secret urgent messages from her employer. The ensuing collision of lifestyles and values touches on larger issues of risk and security, individual freedom, and social responsibility—all with vivid dialogue in an intriguingly theatrical frame.
