Synopsis:
Railway to Nowhere is a thought-provoking drama that delves into the depths of a semi-absurd
reality.Rooted in the philosophy of how a broken system entraps lower-class citizens in an
inescapable maze, the play examines the inherent conflict that arises within individuals as they
seek order—clashing with themselves, society, and the universe at large.
Description:
At its core, Railway to Nowhere is a poignant rebellion led by ordinary citizens deemed insane by
the state.These characters, caught in a perpetual search for a great hero among the so-called
heroes who govern the system, embody the relentless hope that a savior will emerge to reform the
system. The play’s setting, a station of eternal waiting, symbolizes the dream of an ideal system
and the alluring yet unfulfilled promise of a destination never to be reached.Through a satirical
lens, the narrative critiques the order and economics of a fictional universe. It portrays a group of
characters waiting with questions, pain, and curiosity, their eyes set on an unseen hero. This hero,
they believe, holds the key to resolving their mess.
