Kay is building a soapbox car in her dad’s garage as a Grand Gesture. When the love of your life dumps you for your best (and only) friend, do you sit down and take it? No! You race down a hill in a matchbox with wheels decorated with their love-notes and mushy doodles and invite them to watch! That’ll definitely win both of them back! Won’t it?
Soapbox Racer is the story of a teenage girl building a soapbox car in a wild attempt to win back her ex, accidentally reconnecting with her estranged Dad in the process, and finding her inner daredevil.
Winner Best Production (Theatre) at Buxton Fringe
