“The Reckless Ruthless Brutal Charge Of It, Or The Train Play,” should appeal to con-con audiences who attend in their search for off-beat theater. If you are looking for a play with a message, it should be easy to use your imagination and conjure up a lesson to be learned from the abstractions and pseudo-philosophical pontifications which flow from the mouths of the actors.

With Convergence-continuum’s carefully built following, this production will excite and edify. For those coming off the street it will be a jarring experience. Think of this as The Orient Express on acid. Those with a transcendental leaning will dig it. Om!
