Trees by the Station is the story of Leo Teller, a Jewish Hungarian immigrant who moves to New Haven, CT. in 1965.  As he attempts to build a new life for himself in America, his childhood friends from Hungary return as shadows on the wall.  They haunt him.  They remind him of a violin he stole from a classmate when he was nine years old. 

This script incorporates a non-linear narrative, shadow theatrics, and non-naturalistic scenes to inspire the feeling of a living nightmare.  When I drafted this script I was interested in how a person’s attempts to revise their past might impact their future.
