This is what a border is. A magic money line.
Something changed today. The trains are no longer stopping at the station on the border and no one knows why. Plus, the stationmaster suddenly has two new arrivals to deal with. Arrivals that will divide the local population.
This prophetic early masterpiece from David Greig explores our complex relationship to Europe – as a continent, a refuge, an idea.
Michael Longhurst directs the 25th anniversary revival as his inaugural production as Artistic Director of the Donmar.
This production is supported by the John Browne Charitable Trust
★★★★ ‘Greig’s sharp, clear-sighted writing… Longhurst’s fluid, intelligent production… with a fine ensemble cast of eight. It is the start of an exciting new era at the Donmar’ Evening Standard
★★★★ ‘David Greig’s richly resonant play… makes a brilliant opening choice for Michael Longhurst’s new reign at the Donmar. Longhurst’s production and Chloe Lamford’s design perfectly match the play's ability to mix the minute and the metaphorical. The performances are also first rate’ Guardian
★★★★ ‘The dialogue teems with wit and lyricism… The performances are equally well-judged’ Daily Telegraph
