“David Cale...is a spellbinder. Fascinating as he is to watch, and exquisite as his verbal imagery can be, it is Cale’s gifts as a storyteller that hold an audience rapt.” – San Francisco Chronicle
Innovative performer, David Cale returns to The Studio Theatre in his newest one-man show, a touching and comic glimpse into the world’s oldest profession. A Irish carriage driver and his female clients recount their experiences with sex and the search for human connection.
