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.

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.

Hop thA A
This story took me by surprise. It was a beautifully written tale. Poignant, harsh and poetic at times...... it truly touched my heart.

Relatable and nostalgic
I felt like I was the character and I used to ride the trains growing up in Brooklyn. It felt like a blanket comforting me as I listened to the story!

Powerful
Beautiful performance, you could hear every nuance, "see" the facial expressions. This is a Big little story, reminds you to be real and never assume you know people from first expression. Loved it.

Amazing!
Extraordinary imagery. Riveting storyline. Captivating to say the least. A perspective that is generally overlooked. #insight

Thought provoking
Very immersive performances, like I was sitting on the subway eavesdropping on their conversations. I was so caught up in getting to know them I almost forgot they were fictional characters. Very honest and real.
