On the Open Road: Media Call


November 22, 2004

“ Freedom doesn’t come cheap”

University of Calgary Department of Drama is thrilled to present On the Open Road, November 30 - December 11, 2004 at the Reeve Theatre of the University of Calgary.

Witty, political and darkly humorous, On the Open Road by Steve Tesich owes much to the theatrical traditions of Beckett and Brecht. Two mismatched travelers meet by chance and wend their way through the devastation of civil war towards promise of a better life in the 'land of the free'.

On the Open Road is a provocative and darkly humorous depiction of human survival in desperate times. Written by Oscar Award winning screenwriter Steve Tesich (“Breaking Away” in 1979), On the Open Road harbours eerie echoes of our own time.
