Jack owns and runs a garage in a small town. All of his life he has been an entrepeneur and provided for his family by fixing cars. But just before retirement he has to deal with a financial crisis: new cars need new kinds of tools and computers – which are expensive and require special knowledge. Jack refuses to admit defeat and wants to fight for his business to the very end. Jack’s friend Olly is a former school headmaster, who has left his job due to burnout. Jack has hired him as a favour, but Olly has an idea about how Jack can bring his garage to modernity: the world of Youtube. Can old dogs learn new tricks? And is there an audience for two aging men yammering about cars?

Garage is a simple, yet funny and touching comedy about friendship, aging and finding your place in the world. Myllyaho’s perceptive and humane touch gives it a special charm and offers two great parts for mature actors.

”After the show one feels strangely repaired.”
