20th Century Express

The giddy play The Twentieth Century Express is more than a comedy, as the real express that connected Chicago and New York in 1933 is more than a train.

In the luxurious composition, steeped in jazz and gin, the great Broadway director Oscar Jeff and his former lover - the Hollywood star Lily Garland - fly. Along with them travel an irresistible secretary, a sour Irishman, a lover on probation, a startled showman, a rival producer, a German from a self-made troupe, a millionaire prophet, an undercover adulterer, a sexy temptation and a crazed train master.

None of the passengers knows whether the train starts from love and flies to hate. Or vice versa.

Rails cross America, but connect hearts.

"Express "XX century" is a comedy of situations, a smile above manners, a golden dream from the dawn of cinema, laughter to tears, tears of laughter.

And bright love for people flying through the landscape of their own lives.
