"[...] the casting of the two leads and the direction of their one night together result in an evening of melancholic satisfaction."

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"
