Michael Mears - A Slow Train to Woking

Daniel visits his aged mother every week, but does he have a get-out clause? Michael Mears plays all the parts in his own play.

Daniel's biggest headache in life is his dear old mother Lil.

That is why he always takes the slow train.

Mears plays all 28 characters in this emotive comedy.

Written and performed by Michael Mears.
