Railtracks

Railtracks is a unique collaboration between two writers of remarkable achievement. A profound meditation on railways, love and loss, at once intimate and committed, it moves from the industrial to the metaphysical, from tectonic shifts of globalization to interior pulses of memory, and from the present to a past that still exists in vivid, essential traces. Summoning hidden histories and personal journeys, arrivals and departures, unions and separations, Railtracks seeks, with a rigorous and reflective urgency, to bear witness to changes that affect us all.

The original performance of Railtracks was directed by Simon McBurney with Complicite and presented in the historic German Gymnasium in King’s Cross, London, England.
