If love’s a miracle, then to whom does it happen? If love’s a right, then why isn’t it written into law? If love is happiness, then how long does it last? And if it’s pain, then where to find an antidote? Who knows... The world is full of pain as is. Instead—let’s talk about love!

PM Theater's А Star Without A Name is a melodramatic tragicomedy adapted by Ilya Eckstein from a translation of Mihail Sebastian's Steaua Fără Nume. The setting of the play is a provincial town in Romanian countryside, situated along the popular train route from Bucharest to Sinai. By sheer chance, an express train that usually flies by without so much as slowing down makes a quick stop at the town's only train station, leaving behind one sole passenger: a mysterious young redhead. Her beauty strikes right through the heart of a simple school teacher, who's fascinated by stars and astrology. Will their improbable love survive past its cosmic conception or will it combust like so many nameless stars in the sky?
