What would you talk about if you could disarm your defense mechanisms and talk about anything and everything? This is an intense drama laced with wit and humor. It all starts when a top-level executive and a cleaning lady share an elevator for an evening. Why? They are stuck, and nobody knows it. The pair exchanges thoughts on life, work, love, and God. For some reason, the elevator disarms the defense mechanisms normally in effect, and the two talk-really talk-about things people would like to talk about. The edginess, banter, and tears intertwine in this confined encounter that leads to truth, revelation, retreat, and more truth. Going Up? is subtitled An Antiphonal Monologue for reasons only the final minutes will reveal. This is a challenging play for the stage as there are only two actors and one scene. There is no offstage time to recompose. This is for the serious drama club, community theater, or professional actors. It has the potential to breach areas often left overlooked and will give audiences something to ponder for days to come.
