Everyone has their own emotional baggage. What is yours? Characters walk into a train station with their emotional baggage and can’t leave it behind. Emotional baggage holds them back, as they explore whether they will ever be able to let it go. What happens when they meet someone who can leave it behind? Will they learn to let go or carry their emotional baggage with them forever? This play addresses how we handle our emotional baggage and work towards leaving it behind.
