The U.S. premiere of The Train Driver by Athol Fugard will extend at The Fountain Theatre through January 30.

A mesmerizing, transforming and deeply personal journey into the human soul, Fugard calls The Train Driver, "The most important play I've ever written." Morlan Higgins stars as a traumatized train driver tormented by a nightmare that has shattered his life - until he is awakened by an extraordinary stranger, portrayed by Adolphus Ward.
 
The premiere at the Fountain has received over a dozen rave reviews, including the LA Weekly: "GO! [A] powerful new play...director Stephen Sachs' character-driven production is stunning;" Back Stage: "Critic's Pick...a fine and meticulous production;" and Talkin' Broadway: "Beautifully directed and performed." In the Los Angeles Times, Charles McNulty wrote, "A fascinating tale... poetic... rich thematic material, engaging questions of guilt, justice and the difficulty of renewal."

Performances of The Train Driver continue on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm and Sundays at 2 pm through January 30. Tickets are $25.00 on Thursdays and Fridays and $30.00 on Saturdays and Sundays.  On Thursdays and Fridays only, students with ID are $18.00 and seniors over 62 are $23.00.  The Fountain Theatre is located at 5060 Fountain Avenue (at Normandie) in Los Angeles.  Secure, on-site parking is available for $5.00. The Fountain Theatre is air-conditioned and wheelchair accessible.  For reservations and information, call (323) 663-1525 or go to www.FountainTheatre.com.
