Jack and Eli. They spend their days hanging out in Eli's bedroom, drinking beers and riffing on movies, music and girls. But when the death of a friend causes Jack to look inside himself, he doesn't like what he sees. This revelation sparks a spiritual journey for the two and Eli's bedroom becomes a car, their destination and everywhere in between.

The Intricate Art Of Actually Caring is the story of two young guys embarking on a road trip to James K. Baxter's grave in remote Jerusalem, New Zealand.

This slacker road trip story premiered in February 2009 with a three week sell-out season in Eli’s bedroom as part of the NZ Fringe Festival 2009, where it won “Best Theatre”. It won “Most Original Production” at the prestigious Chapman Tripp Wellington Theatre Awards.

“A stunning success: a young and highly talented playwright’s road trip meditation on life, death, and the whole damned thing. Kent and fellow actor Jack Shadbolt are terrific. It's hip, funny and moving" (Dominion Post)
