Benny is a food delivery rider, working through lockdown to deliver fast food and groceries to those confined to their homes. When we enter the performing space, he’s there pedalling on his bike, his mounted phone regularly pinging a recognisable two-tone, and a bright blue insulated box on his back.

The simple set of an exercise bike and a chair allows the otherwise empty stage to be everywhere else, with some great lighting and sound design aiding the audience’s understanding. Mackenzie’s ability to be almost every other character is also key to us working out what is happening: he switches seamlessly between a fellow rider, a nurse, a neighbour, maintaining both sides of the conversation without ever confusing us as to who is who.
