Mesa

April 10 - April 27, 2008
Paul,
an out of work writer, agrees to drive his wife’s grandfather, Bud, to
his retirement trailer in Mesa, Arizona, thinking the adventure and
inspiration of the road trip will lift him from the slump he has found
himself in. The problem is 93 year old Bud is intent on arriving for
his last year at the trailer the same way he always has; stopping at
his favourite Denny’s and Motel 6’s along the way, and with no interest
in indulging in Paul’s romantic notions. Through their friction and
while watching Bud and his friends in the twilight of life, Paul’s own
life is altered in this poignant comedy.
