In The Travellers the absurdity of life - a world without God and joy - is brought to consciousness through the encounters of Alvin, Cecil and Blair at a train station. It is underpinned by the philosophy of atheistic existentialism as depicted in works by Samuel Becket, Eugene Ionesco, Jean Genet, Harold Pinter and Edward Albee. The Travellers is a play in three acts which has all the features of absurd plays - with the absurdist formula of (aclp2t) + (afi2lms) + (tc) - action is reduced - characters are reduced - language is reduced - plot is reduced - place is reduced - the sense of alienation, fear, isolation, insecurity, loneliness, mystery and suspense - and the tragic-comic scenes - nothing is happening - but everything is happening.
