The Abandoned El

In THE ABANDONED EL, two ex-lovers encounter the ghosts of their tangled relationship at the elevated subway station where they first met. Sixteen years after their stormy break-up, Robbie and Shari are mysteriously drawn together. They share dark secrets, struggle to settle accounts, and then discover a hidden connection. Both a love story and a memory play, THE ABANDONED EL explores how people overcome the loss of love without destroying what’s magical about the past.
