Ginny needs a window seat or else she gets flustered on long flights. Trouble is, she’s taken a water pill and now she’s needing to hop up to use the restroom multiple times, much to the annoyance of Josh, in the middle and Eleanor on the aisle. Toss in Eleanor’s non-stop chatter, and Josh is regretting being stuck with the middle seat. Will he finish his speech in time? Or better yet, will the long flight turn into a mile high fight?

The playwright shares, “I was on a flight and observed a fellow passenger making frequent trips to the restroom and I had fun trying to imagine why that may be.”

From a Senior Theatre Director: “Such a sweet and funny play! The characters are likeable. Note that the young man could easily be aged if you consider the best man is an uncle of the groom.”
