Scottish actor Steven Duffy takes the director’s seat at acting cubed.  The former Small Faces and Taggart actor joins forces with the group to present Autobahn: A Short Play Cycle by acclaimed playwright and filmmaker Neil LaBute.

​

Autobahn is a series of disconnected scenes set in the front seats of cars – veering between dark and comic.

 

And Steven said: “Neil LaBute, wrote in the Forward to ‘Autobahn’ that he is not a car person, well to be honest… neither am I.  But there is something about the conversations that happen in cars that take on a life of their own. I don’t know if it is the self-imposed claustrophobia, or the visually distracting nature of a 360° glass bubble that protects, and at the same time allows us to participate mechanically in the world around us. Be it in a car park, the drive back from Rehab, at a notorious break-up hot spot or on the motorway. No two car journeys are ever the same. Life is what happens along the road to somewhere else. But sometimes it’s a miracle some people even make their true destination."
