IN THE LOUNGE Taxi Take Me! Rae C. Wright
About This Show
Having survived a near-fatal car crash, Rae needed to employ NYC’s Taxis to move her recovering body from place to place between 4 and 6 times a day — for nearly six months. In addition to seven broken bones and much internal disarray, a closed-head injury created in Rae both a state of denial, and a tenderized and surprising experience of the world. Suddenly, the same workers Rae formerly saw as members of the host of New Yorkers who Fail-To Give-Me-What-I-Want (i.e. Get me there! Now! Fast! Cheap!) become oddly sacred saints.
