Synopsis: Danny’s a white, blue-collar, New York City mansplainer. Marlowe’s the Black, female, ivy-educated newbie who just joined his garbage route. Thrown together in a 19-ton truck and forced to pick up what the world has discarded, two essential workers from different worlds discover there's more that binds them than taking out the trash. An unconventional buddy comedy in a garbage truck, The Garbologists is a hopeful story about finding common ground in uncommon times.
MARLOWE: Female, Black, Late 30s. First week at DSNY. Confident and competent, both physically and mentally. Keen sense of wit and irony. Vivid inner life; even when silent, her face speaks volumes. Practiced in making you to think she's got it all together, but she's guarding a secret she doesn't wear on her sleeve.
DON: Male, White, Early 40s. Nine years at DSNY. Mansplaining, dad jokes, and run of-the-mill machismo thinly mask a profound desire to love and be loved. With less wear-and-tear, he might be attractive—ruggedly handsome, even—but you'd swallow hot coals before saying that to his face.
