The Great Shower of Strasbourg
SYNOPSIS
SANDY and RADA meet against all odds in a hostel in Strasbourg. Two strangers far from home spend one night together in a city unfamiliar to them both. Though there appear to be several barriers between them, extending beyond culture and language, a true connection — and a unique, fleeting friendship — is formed when RADA must catch her midnight bus, but needs a little encouragement to get out the door.

character breakdown
SANDY - F, 23, extroverted, well-traveled American actor in Europe but not an expert in any sense as she’s only lived abroad for a year
RADA - F, 20, introverted, anxious, but opinionated. Written as Algerian, requires an actor who can authentically portray the role. She is traveling to France briefly for the first time from Algeria.
