Trains In The Night

A sapphic coming-of-age musical for anyone who has ever been “just friends” with the love of their life. Celine and Margot have spent five years on opposite sides of the country, sustained by late-night phone calls, political debates, literary references and palpable chemistry they pretend not to feel.

Celine, an aspiring actress, is willing to leap headfirst into love. Margot, a struggling writer, keeps getting caught between what she wants and what feels safe.

Every time one is single, the other isn’t. Every time they almost say it, they don’t. Funny, intimate and viscerally tender, this show is a love letter to sapphic yearning, homoerotic friendships, and the radical act of letting queer women have their happy ending.

Featuring an original score and stripped-back staging, this debut musical captures the ache of almost-love and asks whether some people are destined to find their way back to each other, no matter how long it takes.
