Editor: “The show opened tonight (14th July) to a full house and we were treated to a brilliant two-hander with performances by Amy Phillips and Johnny Keefe that were truly West End standard. Great to see good theatre again at last!”

Directed by Mic Lord 

Performed by Johnny Keefe & Amy Phillips

December, 1940.  A crowded cross-country train heading east from LA to Chicago.  A
young serviceman recently discharged and a young woman disappointed in love are
forced to share a seat – just a chance meeting on a train or a life-changing moment in
time? 

Journey with Rayleigh and May at three key moments in their relationship in
this bittersweet and brilliant play.

‘The most perfect show….It is beautifully written… Every line is a heartbeat.’

Financial Times

‘In a way it’s an earlier, rural version of Terrence McNally’s Frankie and Johnny…’

Ticket Price: £14 Concessions £12
