★★★
Eight strangers wait on a platform for a delayed train. One by one they begin to share stories, secrets and desires.
The idea behind this new musical is simple and something anyone can relate to. Day after day we stand on crowded railway platforms with our heads buried in newspapers and eyes glued to phone screens. Making eye contact with a stranger can feel like committing a criminal offence - let alone starting a conversation!
