Details

Old and new Europeans collide at a time of great change in this poetic and comic tale of love, loss and longing. The play is set in a small Eastern European border town once famous for making soup, electricity and checking passports. International Express Trains thunder through the station, carrying different people from worlds apart. Deeply compelling, Europe confronts the bleaker meanings of nationhood, identity and globalisation. Is there no stopping this powerful train in its tracks?
