Written by Sam Bodrick, Passengers incldues eight sketches that weave together a subtle but profound theme. Deep revelations and gutsy insights are gleaned from the play dialogue and true to life scenarios. “Passengers.” is a fresh, idiosyncratic, irreverent comedy. The scenes, which segue fluidly from one to another without stopping, vary from comedic to poignant and are tied together in the last scene.
In Scene 1, Jane and Walter, a disillusioned man and woman, meet in the station. As they converse, they are convinced they are dead. In Scene 2, Frank, one of life’s eternal losers, encouraged by his wife Clara, plans to turn his life around by successfully robbing the bus. Fred, a successful businessman, meets Maureen, an old high school classmate of his, who is now a bag lady. They have a rousing time together recalling the good old days in Scene 4.
