Working in telly now, it’s all about rewrites and meetings and writing draft after draft after draft, but even though I was already doing bits of telly, Passing Places just happened. There was a freedom there, and an energy in the writing that wasn’t constrained by all these shifts in tone, and it felt like I could do anything with it, whether that was bad jokes or monologues. I think it was all to do with me being excited by the possibilities of theatre, and this ridiculous idea of doing a road movie for the stage.”

Meanwhile, Alex’s erstwhile employer, sports shop owner and small-time hood Binks, is hot on (and off) their trail. Of course, if both vehicles stop simultaneously this can result in a stand-off of British politeness.

The advice for countries where you drive on the right is exactly the same, except reversed.You would only pull into a passing place on the right side of the vehicle, on the front passenger’s side of the car.

What sets Passing Places aside from other performances is how heartfelt it is. A sense of movement is not only captured through the innovative staging but also through the character development. The simple addition of props such as blankets and fairy lights transform the space and the host of eccentric side characters played by Emily Winter and Taqi Nazeer help propel the plot forward and take the audience on a journey. Quinn and Donald also expertly portray self-discovery and themes of growing up through every facial expression, crude gesture and soliloquy, serving to further develop their multi-dimensional characters and create memorable performances.
