Joe is in crisis, his life a swirling scribble of obligations he feels he's failing to fulfil
For five minutes a day he finds a little solace and peace, alone on an isolated bench
That is until Sandy turns up
Sandy is mourning the passing of his Maggie
The bench is his memorial to her memory
A shrine to his loss
As both men attempt to impose their purpose on the bench, so begins an epic conflict of passive aggression
It's a conflict that will change the two of them, and will, maybe, finally answer the eternal question ..
When is a bench not a bench?
A satirical one-act comedy about finding a safe place in a threatening world
Runs about 60 minutes
