Driving the Saudis

by Jayne Amelia Larson – January 14-17 and 21-24

Jayne Amelia Larson returns to Memphis for an encore performance of her hilarious, but eye-opening one-woman show, Driving the Saudis. She recounts her days as the only female drive for a royal Saudi family during their visit to Beverly Hills. “DRIVING THE SAUDIS explores and challenges American perceptions of beauty, culture, religion, and the subjugation of women, through the curious eyes of the actress-turned-chauffeur.”
