For 2014, The Fringe Files showcased brand new psychological thriller UnderLINE, written by British playwright Michael Starr and directed by Stuart Lyddon.
This is the tale of three commuters roving an underground train carriage. This is the fable of three strangers, adhering to a series of events, leading to an encounter. This is one reality for three passengers, each sharing an aligned journey, where not all is as it seems.
