| | PRODUCTIONS | | | | | Synopsis | | Mr. Ciccotelli masterfully explores the chronic and tragic problem of young people drinking and driving. After a volleyball competition, seven girls wait in a school parking lot to be driven home by one of the team managers, who, unbeknownst to them, is behind the school getting drunk with his buddies. Through a succession of scenes (which are separated with a blackout and rotating red police beacon), the girls gossip about the boys they like, how their parents embarrass them, rehearse a creative writing scene, sing ABBA songs, and, out of frustration, get into several fights. The boy returns, apparently sober, breaks up the bickering and drives them home. Through the use of humor, song, and conflict, great empathy is created for the girls, heightening the inevitable devastating ending and driving home that familiar, but more often forgotten saying “Don’t Drink and Drive.” |
