ABOUT THE PLAY
Riding the Comet is a gripping World War II drama exploring the themes of family, fear and patriotism and what can become of us when pushed to the brink.
In WWII Occupied France, a resistance family is visited by two American GIs. A plan is set to return them safely to England via the underground “Comet Line”. But as the family endures the horrors of war, the eldest daughter, Linette, can no longer bear the loss and fragmentation of her family. With Nazis in fast pursuit and the safety of the GIs in jeopardy, fear takes its toll as Linette becomes increasingly desperate.
