About Maiden Mother Moan
Trains in the Night is a sapphic coming-of-age musical by Maiden Mother Moan, performed at Annexe. Celine and Margot have spent five years on opposite sides of the country, sustained by late-night phone calls, political debates, literary references and palpable chemistry they pretend not to feel. Every time one is single, the other is not. The show is described as funny, intimate and viscerally tender — a love letter to sapphic yearning, homoerotic friendships, and the radical act of letting queer women have their happy ending. It runs for 50 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A musical that treats queer women's love stories with the seriousness they deserve. Maiden Mother Moan balance humour and genuine tenderness across 50 minutes of live music and deeply recognisable longing — for anyone who has ever been 'just friends' with someone they loved.
