"[...] the casting of the two leads and the direction of their one night together result in an evening of melancholic satisfaction."
Theatre Eddys, April 26, 2015

Romanian romance. Dragon Theatre stages little-known 1940s play
"The train is a natural vehicle for the mysterious love story presented in "The Star Without a Name," the 1942 Romanian play by Mihail Sebastian, lovingly translated for Redwood City's Dragon Theatre by Ana-Catrina Buchser, who also directs."
"Buchser's goal of bringing Sebastian's work to a wider American audience is exactly the kind of project 2nd Stage supports, and in this case it's a worthy one"
