Molly Taylor's LOVE LETTERS TO THE PUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEM Makes Its Australian Debut  Image

Molly Taylor's Love Letters to the Public Transport System makes it's Australian debut following an acclaimed sell-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe, a Scottish Tour, and a transfer to The Royal Court Theatre, London.The show will play from 14 February to 1 March in The Studio at Holden Street Theatres, 34 Holden Street Hindmarsh.

In a fast-moving world where no one stays in one place for too long, Love Letters to the Public Transport System is a show that seeks to find and thank the people who transport us daily; to friends, to lovers, to work, to moments of significance in our lives. But who do you thank, and how do you find them?

Based on Molly Taylor's quest to find the people who have the invaluable but often thankless task of working in the public transport industry, this one-woman show explores the ordinary and extraordinary journeys we make every day, and finally thanks the people who make them possible.

In Love Letters to the Public Transport System Liverpudlian Molly blends lyrical yet down-to-earth storytelling to celebrate the relationship between the microcosm - small, personal, idiosyncratic stories - and the macrocosm; the communities we inhabit.

Molly Taylor is a London-based writer and theatre-maker who specialises in creating original performances inspired by the everyday. Her work is often drawn from research and autobiography, and she has worked extensively in the participatory sector. She aims to create powerful and relatable work about how we live our lives today. Recent projects in the UK include See Me Now (Young Vic / HighTide / Look Left Look Right), an original performance created with male, female and transgender sex workers. In 2017 she wrote And Yet It Moves (Young Vic Taking Part), and in 2016 she wrote and created The Neighbourhood Project (Bush Theatre), with a community company of local residents. As a playwright, Love Letters to the Public Transport System was originally produced by the National Theatre of Scotland and was nominated for 'Best New Play' at the Scottish Critics' Awards. Last year it was translated in Norwegian and enjoyed a successful run at Kilden Theatre, Kristiansand. Her most recent play, Shell and Davey at the Start and the End premieres at VAULT Festival, London, in February 2018.

Love Letters to the Public Transport System plays; 14 February to 1 March at various times in The Studio, Holden Street Theatres.
