The Train Driver (Hampstead Theatre, Inner London)
Back to Show Details| Score | Comment | Date |
 | Athol Fugard's The Train Driver is a superbly acted two-hander between a black gravedigger and a white train driver, severely traumatised by the suicide of a nameless black woman beneath the wheels of his train. There is a palpable sense of atmosphere and the developing trust between the two men but it's painfully slow and feels like a very long 80 minutes. - David Baxter | 25 Nov 10 |
| 2 brilliant actors kept the audience captivated from beginning to end. The drama stays with you for days after. - carla | 22 Nov 10 |
| Not 'Athol Fugard's first play for ten years' - first play he has directed for ten years! He's been writing new plays all the time - previous one from 2009 Coming Home was given British premiere at the Arcola earlier this year. - Francis Davies | 10 Nov 10 |
