JACK & LAUREL CAN’T TRAVEL: MEXICO
An Original Radio Play (Fiction/ Comedy)
Jack convinces his brother, Laurel, to join him on a business trip to the Guadalajara Book Fair, luring him with the promise of a high-profile rendezvous with a prominent New York literary agent. Unable to resist the chance to see their writing dreams go global, Laurel wrestles into his leather shoes one more time, trading the comfort of Berlin for the open road – and a shot at success.
Travelling overland through Chiapas and Oaxaca, a nirvana for underground artists, in the wild cultural heart of southern Mexico, their journey from the Gulf to the Pacific through agave country is anything but smooth.
Along the way, the hapless duo encounter an eclectic mix of locals and oddball travellers, stumbling through a seemingly endless parade of misunderstandings as they navigate the bumpy road to reinvention.
Jack and Laurel Can’t Travel: Mexico is the first instalment in a new series of radio plays by the creators of Driving the Trans-Siberian, a hilarious exploration of brotherly misadventure, cultural chaos, and the fine art of getting lost.
