ABOUT THIS SHOW
Having survived a near-fatal car crash, Rae needed to employ NYC’s Taxis to move her recovering body from place to place between 4 and 6 times a day — for nearly six months. In addition to seven broken bones and much internal disarray, a closed-head injury created in Rae both a state of denial, and a tenderized and surprising experience of the world. Suddenly, the same workers Rae formerly saw as members of the host of New Yorkers who Fail-To Give-Me-What-I-Want (i.e. Get me there! Now! Fast! Cheap!) become oddly sacred saints.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Rae C. Wright is an OBIE-Award winning character-actor & writer. Wright has been awarded a NYFA Fellowship for Computer Arts, a Fulbright Teaching Fellow in 2011 & 2014, and has authored 5 produced works, as well as The Breaks together w/Deb Margolin. She was the Hannah Pitt U/S in Signature Theatre’s Angels in America & performed the roles in a 2014 production in Hartford, CT. Film roles: Joe’s Apartment, A Soldier’s Heart, plus roles in numberless obscure & wonderful films as lovers, drinkers, shrinks, shopkeeps, a defender-of-zombies, a Cougar/murderess. Also Joe Tripician’s Borders w/Steve B as her jilted lover, plus four of Madeline Olnek’s very cool films. Rae C Wright teaches in Film & TV at NYU.
