The only way of catching a train that I have discovered is to miss the train before.―G. K. Chesterton
In this play by playwright and author Stephen Evans, two former college sweethearts meet again for the first time forty-some years later at a nearly deserted train station. During this encounter, the couple explore the events that broke them apart, the attraction that endures, and the possibilities of life at the Still Point.
Both the full length (Two Act) and One Act versions are included in this volume. The play has three characters and a unit set.
Cast of Characters
Gwen A Grace Kelly look-alike (more the actress than the princess despite her 60 years)
Art Gwen's age, a writer, more William Powell than Robert Redford.
Merle The station vendor, who looks a little bit like the Princeton version of Einstein (sweatshirt and sneakers included).
Setting: A train station.
Time: Late.
Setting: A small train station, the kind that you don't see much anymore. A few old benches are crowded together in the center. On the upstage wall is a round clock, the numbers, roman numerals, barely visible through the round crystal face, have delicate green vines climbing up them, twining around them. The time says 11:55 through most of the play. Upstage under the clock is a door to the train platform, with two old wooden chairs beneath. To the side is a cart for a vendor that offers newspapers, coffee, and various treats.
At Rise: Merle sits doing a crossword puzzle behind the vendor cart, which is overflowing with various paraphernalia such as newspapers, souvenir hats, a carafe of coffee, various treats, and dust.
