Monica Hunken is my favourite living actress and anything she does is not to be missed. You may remember her as the lead in Jeff Stark’s mesmorizing play, The Sweet Cheat, see her crooning with the Rev. Billy, Life After Shopping Choir, witness the fine moves of Heelz on Wheelz bike dance troupe or have caught word of her recent 6 month Revolution Ride across many countries including: Greece, UK, Poland, Syria and Bulgaria to gain research for her new play about revolution and sustainable living practices. In her trilogy of bike awesome plays, Wild Finish is her second masterpiece and it is a MUST SEE.

In this one–woman travelogue, Monica embarks on a bicycle journey across the vodka-soaked roads of Poland in search of Leonidas Dudarew Ossetynski, her grandfather. Resolving to hunt down the mystery of this enigmatic character, Monica sets off to an overland bicycle odyssey to understand the demon that still haunts her family. She squats with anarchist punks in old factories, barely escapes a knifing by Neo-Nazis, hides in churches and encounters a strange and amazing cast of characters: a sardonic filmmaker, Peer Gynt, the ghost of a beautiful, Norwegian bride, a clairvoyant, possessed dominatrix, and in the climax, Rena Mirecka, one of the last original members of Jerzy Grotowski’s theater company who leads Monica in a para-theatrical workshop guiding her into the wilderness of her mind, into the darkness of her past where she must face her family demons once and for all.
