Memorial Day weekend. The US-of-A. The sales team at Terry's Cars and Automobiles is preparing to honour the fallen by slashing prices on some gently used, (mostly) American-made cars. But, the pressure's on. If Terry's team doesn't shift 66 cars by Monday, there'll be hell to pay. From award-nominated, Lecoq-trained company BRILLIG, Terry's is an absurd, sitcom-esque tragi-comedy featuring original live music, physical theatre and one very special balloon. There's no guarantee the team will make the target, but you're bound to have the ride of your life...
