The 2017 FRIGID Festival presents a The New Collectives production:
Written & Performed by Mara Gannon
Directed by Dave Monteagudo
Sex, regret, and a road trip.
In Buyer’s Remorse, Mara is on the road with nothing but a playlist, podcasts, and her thoughts.
She confronts romantic love, intimacy, and loneliness. Can you be independent without being alone?
Raised in a generation where the success of the nuclear family defined happiness - how do you justify your uncertainty?
On a road trip to find the future, the past insists on being a backseat driver. One woman opens up about her insecurities,
her “number”, and her fear of the road that lies ahead.
