The Sleeping Car

About the show

During an overnight train journey, anxious new mother Agnes Roberts repeatedly wakes a fellow passenger while worrying about her husband, baby, and long-absent brother. Her husband boards secretly, then mistakes the passenger’s berth for hers; when the brother finally joins them, Agnes and her aunt successively mistake the same Californian for their relatives and acquaintances. The three-part farce turns their mistaken identities and interruptions into escalating comedy.
