My earlier review: The hammer lane is the one used for passing. Truckers in North America came up with the term which references slamming the accelerator with a foot like hammer. Matt Cooke is in a therapy se...

Somehow, Matt had used the highway to lock himself away from his loved ones. That’s why it didn’t feel like freedom after a while. It felt more like a prison.

So excited to be heading to Hamilton Fringe for 7 performances. 🇨🇦

Staying true to the craft...where writing and performance find a rhythm the whole audience can move to. ~ dp
