About The Play
The Departure Train is a story about a woman who dies and boards a train in the afterlife. Guided by a mysterious conductor, she embarks feeling free and unshackled. But she soon discovers that in order to leave a legacy of love for her two daughters, she has to journey through the terrain of her life and face truths she spent a lifetime trying to bury.
The story transports us beyond the frame of ordinary life and into a richly imagined afterlife. It offers comfort, inspires us to consider our own meaningful legacies, and encourages us to validate the intimate events that happen around the death of a loved one.
“It’s an engaging play – I had dreams about these characters all last night.”
