Show InfoLandmark Radio Theater presents the premiere of "Off the Rails," an original play in the classic style of radio dramas from the Golden Age of broadcasting, performed live on stage in a format akin to a staged reading. "Off the Rails" tells the story of seven strangers on a Long Island Rail Road train on a winter night in 1942. Some are chasing new hopes, others are on the run from old troubles — and one is an enemy agent! When a blizzard imperils the train, sparks fly, dangers mount and dark secrets are revealed.
