Description A man and a woman sit opposite each other in the detached intimacy of a train compartment on a journey from Paris to Frankfurt. He is a world famous author, she has a copy of his latest book in her bag and ponders the dilemma of reading it in front of him.
Through a series of monologues, the audience hear the inner thoughts of these strangers as they reflect on loss, frustration, love, jealousy, art, fame, and finally, each other.
