About this show
Farah Price never expected visitors. Not on the Northern line – and certainly not at midnight. But strange things can happen on empty carriages. When Farah finds herself surrounded by peculiar-looking passengers, all of them oddly fascinated by the world around them, she wonders if she's fallen into a dream. The truth, however, may be far more revealing. Time, love and humanity are wound up in this paranormal concept musical, which explores how six separate lives might all add up to one.

There are enough strange encounters on the Northern Line without discovering that the last train home may have no intention of getting you there. Farah is alone in the carriage, tearfully cutting short a telephone call…
