Review Love Letters to the Transport System  is a well-crafted piece, beautifully performed by Molly Taylor who also wrote (researched ) and director the work.  It’s not a play but rather very fine storytelling with an engaging actor sitting on a bus seat, there’s no action but Molly changes position from time to time so it’s not completely static.  Her delivery is engaging and she tells the story of falling out of love and falling in love and meetings and the best of times and thinks about how she arrived at place and met her lover and wishes to ‘thank’ the public transport drivers who played a key role and delivered her to her destination with love.  She sets about writing to various transport organisations to say a personal thanks to the anonymous people whose work contributes to our life but we don’t know them or thank them for what they do …  An engaging piece of storytelling beautifully executed.   SNT (Scottish National Theatre).
