Inspired by a strange alchemy of styles derived as much from Samuel Becket
as Jerry Seinfeld, "Claire Went to France" tackles the heaviest of the existential
questions with the apathy of a stand up comic. It hinges on the time specific fact
that currently being a twenty something in America is like no age or era ever to
come before it. With all the options in the world available they take none of them,
and with all the comforts in the globe no one seems pleased. Through examining
one character's specific directionless uncertainties, "Claire Went to France"
hopes to stumble on the universalities and cosmic comedy that are set into play
when each of us wake up every single morning.
