Synopsis
Meet Stick, Frank and Happy Larry as they embark on another coach journey down the Rhine Valley. These long suffering drivers have seen it all and done it all; so as they head towards the Channel Tunnel with thirty OAP's, what on earth could go wrong? Join with them as they lose pensioners in Paris, search for lost teeth in Koblenz witness love affairs in Boppard and, after a four day 'Umpah' party, they make the long journey back! Funny, sad and cinematic you'll be amazed, as Stick, Frank and Happy Larry play thirty characters, or more in a total evocation of a bus trip. Don't miss this bitter sweet comedy by one of the nation's leading playwrights.

Stick is the cynical younger driver, rapidly losing patience, wishing he was driving six form girls on field trips to Spain and declaring that anyone over 70 should meet a sudden end forthwith.
Happy Larry is approaching retirement and from that vantage point has far more sympathy with his charges but also has an unfortunate penchant for Mario Lanza.
