When love has drifted on, what do you rely upon?

Book by Craig Pospisil
Lyrics by Jeremy Schonfeld
Music by Jeremy Schonfeld

Drift examines the painful phenomenon of divorce and child custody from the perspective of men. Based on the concept album of the same name, composer/ lyricist Jeremy Schonfeld and playwright Craig Pospisil have written a heart-wrenching, affecting, and often humorous show about the devastating effects divorce has on everyone who goes through it, and how people find a way to pick up the pieces and start again.

“... Schonfeld's exciting art-rock score (ornamented with country and pop) pulsingly defining these men adrift in an increasingly confusing emotional world. The outstanding bookending numbers (Dr. Schneider, about the helpful head of the therapy sessions, and The Toast, celebrating newfound friendship) and the title song are just right for these men who learn to find in each other the acceptance they're unable to get from their female better halves. Laura gets little more than a song detailing the chain of femininity through her mother down to her daughter, and a piercing power ballad with David (State of the Heart) as their court-driven animosity reaches its conclusion.
That she otherwise remains at best an insubstantial presence is not the fault of actress Tari Kelly, a dynamic vocalist who infuses Laura with as much sympathy as possible.”
