Step aboard the northbound Red Line in Stranger, a thrilling and darkly comedic audio murder mystery that will have you questioning who—or what—you can trust. When the lights flicker out on a late-night Chicago train, a simple ride home spirals into a terrifying investigation of secrets, betrayal, and death.
When Laura, an unsuspecting passenger, is pushed—or possibly jumped—from the train to her death, an unlikely group of strangers is forced to confront their own hidden connections to the crime. Anne, a true-crime podcaster with a sharp eye for detail, takes charge, unraveling motives, grudges, and lies as the passengers' personal dramas spill into the investigation. But the mystery deepens when more bodies are discovered and the group begins to realize they may not just be dealing with a simple murder... Something darker, more supernatural, is at play.
With a mix of sharp dialogue, surprising twists, and a dash of dark humor, Stranger explores the line between obsession and identity, and what happens when you're forced to trust a group of strangers—each with their own secrets—to solve a crime. As the bodies pile up, the true nature of the killer—and the mysterious force behind the chaos—becomes clear.
Packed with suspense, humor, and supernatural intrigue, Stranger is perfect for audiences who love a twisty murder mystery with a dose of dark comedy. If you’re a fan of true-crime podcasts, psychological thrillers, and tales of the uncanny, this play will keep you guessing until the very last chilling moment.
