| Style | A one act comedy (could be used as a short two-act) packed with unexpected delights. |
| Synopsis | Two women work at a company that provides a sat-nav service, with the unexpected revelation that they are the voices of the sat navs. A complicated day for the pair involves French and Spanish translations, unexpected detours and a violent confrontation. Their customers include a doddery old lady who can't find the end of the street, a man who 'doesn't need the Satnav' and his daughter who has recently undergone an unfortunate experience on social media. There's also a young man who insists on using the latest 'exaggerated accents' app, all of which Tracey has to supply, and a customer who needs to be spoken to in French (only Tracey doesn't know any). |
