The funniest night's entertainment in years. Theatre That Really Works ! This inventive piece of modern theatre really gets down to the nitty gritty in its story of a very ordinary suburban couple caught up in the traps of modern society. The laughs come thick and fast. All the cast are excellent. It's so good one wonders how long it will be before Paul Davies material enters the mainstream theatre, perhaps the MTC. I can't recommend Last Train to St. Kilda highly enough...
(Toorak Times)
Last Train to St. Kilda deals with a society that has gone mad. A society whose opinions are formed by newspapers like the Daily Liar, where all the money has holes in it and where, about the only thing you're allowed to get without your ID is a cold sore. Can a mere individual Turn the Tide. Can a play save a railway line? Make sure you catch Last Train to St. Kilda and find out.
(Waves Magazine)
The result is partly a rail against the government, and partly a reaction against the attack on our privacy from bureaucrats, in particular their misuse of computer data bases. The style of the play is Mel Brooks. Davies certainly has some brilliant ideas and some razor-sharp observations on contemporary life. (St. Kilda Times)
