About the show:

In a small provincial town in Romania before WWII, the local train station is a most popular place. The highlight of the day is the passing of the flashy Express train from Sinai which never stops. School teacher Marin Miroyu pays little attention to the train and to those who do. He is a scientist and has discovered a star—so far away it is invisible, but he knows it is there.

Suddenly, one night, the Express train does stop. A beautiful young lady becomes stranded in this small town for the night. It is also the night that Marin is at the train station to pick up a package. The chance meeting of the unsociable teacher and the stunning young lady from a different world becomes a struggle of fascination and skepticism. How they influence each other and the outcome of their encounter involving others is the soul of playwright Mihail Sebastian’s entertaining story.
