During weekly encounters in a train station, Laura and Alec discover a mutual and irresistible passion, but their romance is destined to end prematurely as both are married. Using the unforgettable 1946 film by Noël Coward as inspiration, Kneehigh Theatre of Cornwall, England, creates a theatrically engaging blend of film, theater, comedy, songs and beguiling romance. The Guthrie is just one of three stops in the U.S. for this production acclaimed in London as "brilliantly done and superbly acted" and "a first class return to romance."
