The end though...

I’m guessing the whole piece is a metaphor? The closed doors that when open shut too fast? Being trapped on the train with only disappointment and failure outside the train? I don’t want to give anything away, but at the end I got so confused. And I think that was also part of the metaphor. The next guy reading the “script” in the exact same way with almost identical inflection...like they were interchangeable people. Or maybe society sees them as interchangeable? It made me think. A lot. A sign of good writing in my mind.

Good story

I enjoyed the performance and the story. Suspenseful moments, sound effects and everything. Wish it hadn’t ended.

Great story - but missing an ending!

I really liked the story but right as things were getting good the story takes an unexpected twist and ends almost immediately after. So strange!

Powerful, thought-provoking and an easy listen

I loved the setting of this story - all on the A - and was amazed at how much we came to know and empathize with the characters just based on their short dialogs. Truly outstanding.

Amazing Dialogue and Connection between the Actors

I was pleasantly surprised how artfully this play was performed. I felt like a fly on the wall listening to these amazing actors. Very recommended short Audible play.

Such a good start

I enjoyed the story until the end. It was abrupt and felt like it went against the way the story was unfolding. Kind of disappointed.

Impeccable...

The writing pulls you into the train with the actors, immerses you into the New York spirit and forces you to journey with the characters literally and emotionally. A must listen. A must feel. A must learn.
