Description

Devlin invites his old school friends on an overnight train. Once boarded and on their way however, secrets begin to surface and new bonds begin to form. What they all thought they knew about one another is tested, straining both their friendships and their relationships. Two couples, three of which are friends, one overnight trip on a train, a mass of secrets between them... What could possibly go wrong?

Great show, thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. Very funny, cleverly written and very well acted. Facial expressions and little nuances were executed brilliantly. It was obviously difficult to portray bunk style beds but the cramped space of a sleeper carriage was made obvious. Each character was well portrayed and easily believable and the pace / energy of the piece was spot on. Well done to everyone involved a super script and performance - definitely recommend

A cleverly written script with twists and turns performed by excellent actors that captured the charm, humour and awkwardness of the characters. From the excellent comedic timings and the more heartfelt moments, to the explosion as everything comes crashing down around them, this show is a must see comedy!

Loved it. Was passing The Space yesterday and randomly dropped in to On The Rail, a 45 minute play about love, friendship, betrayal & heartbreak. Having it set in the intimate confines of a train sleeper carriage really helps to drive the plot along & intensify the emotion as friendships unravel.
Go see it.
You’ll never hear the question “Did you come by train” in the same way again.

This is a belter of a show . Well written , directed and played by a very talented cast of four young actors . It was fun to be watch and I suspect fun to be in . Go see it , you won't be disappointed.
