The middle of a highway is no place for an eight-year-old child -- much less a highway in the dangerous, war-torn mountains of Afghanistan. But that is precisely where the young protagonist of The Most Dangerous Highway in the World makes his living, directing traffic on a perilous, winding road in exchange for tips from passing motorists, buses, supply trucks and military convoys making their way between Jalalabad and Kabul. Based on a New York Times article about the real-life "Pepsi bottle boys" of Afghanistan, this poetic play by Kevin Artigue makes its world premiere at Thick House in San Francisco.
