    “ I saw a production of this play in 2019 (remember when we used to be able to go to the theater?) and I still think about it sometimes. It is so different, in the best way. It plays with time, it explores why relationships (all kinds, not just romantic ones) sometimes die off - and it's funny! It made me think when I first saw it two years ago, and it's got me thinking still. I can't wait for Ross's next full length! ”

    “ I was fortunate enough to see this play produced and found it to be at once charming and profound. There's so much to discuss afterwards about the moments and lives that have touched your own both positively and negatively; so many wasted opportunities to rectify wrongs or say what we mean... I find myself wishing I could be on this train with my own ensemble of characters. ”

The 7th character is Train Announcer. It is just a voice off stage and could be done live or, preferably, pre-recorded.
