Motion Sickness , the Award-winning original production by the Beau Jest Moving Theatre, premiered in Boston in 1989, and was produced Off-Broadway in 1990 at the George Kaufman Theater. Motion Sickness is a comical look at the desire to "get away from it all". Five characters search for fulfillment, from Vermont to the mythic land of Flerbovia, only to end up on a beach waiting for the Green Flash. No answers and lots of laughter abound in this light-hearted look at human despair.
