“PICK UP AX...has a smart,
sassy script that's studded with bright, funny dialogue....
Clarvoe's very hip script
centers on the fortunes of two bright young men, Keith Rienzi and
Brian Weiss, who have bootstrapped themselves from a
free-wheeling, penny-ante operation into a multi-million dollar
computer software corporation through Keith's inventive
brilliance and Brian's business instincts.
But at twenty-seven, Keith is losing some
of his whiz-kid brain, Brian's financial pipeline is drying up,
and their supplier is refusing to deliver vital microchips to
them.
Just when these two aging
wunderkind are facing disaster, in walks...Mick Palomar, a slick
operator armed with an M B A and a flair for old-fashioned
extortion....”

“PICK UP AX is a fast,
funny, entertaining play about a fascinating subject: the growing
pains of the personal computer industry....
PICK UP AX is likely to be an audience-pleaser because of the sheer
exuberance and wit of the script....”
