Grabbing the Hammer Lane: A Trucker Narrative is a searing, one act play about prodigal rebellion and fleeting moments for redemption. Matt, a long-haul trucker hits the road to find himself and the freedom he desires—only to become imprisoned overtime in a steel cell on 18 wheels. Clarence remains at home, diminishing with the passage of time and from the anguish he bears from losing the love he pushed away. With humor, grit, and in-your-face honesty, Hammer Lane chronicles the lives of these two men living different sides of one story—a story about rejection, regret, separation, and the devastating consequences of rage-fueled choices. It offers an intimate glimpse of a final reckoning after a six-million mile journey back home.

Karen & David Proctor are the Principals of Harbour Workshop, a social innovation firm. David joined the firm in 2022 after a 30-year career in the commercial trucking industry.
