Several years ago I was in branson in the off season. A group of young people (Illinois college students, I believe) gave a play at one of the theaters. It was an audience participation play. There was the villian (audience - boos), Hero (audience - yea), the pretty young lady (audience - ooo la la) and etc.. It also had to do with trains.

The plot is something about saving the pretty young lady. The morgage is due and must be paid. The young lady was tied to the railroad tracks by the villian. The hero is trying to save her. One of the characters was named Fred, I think. I can not remember much more. It was very funny.

This might be a bit easier too answer if you could elaborate on the plot/events of the play.

It looks to me like harping back to the old silent Movie era ,there was hundreds of these Movies made. They Usually featured
Buster Keaton,Harold Lloyd, or Charlie Chaplin as the Hero.
Mary Pickford as the Damsel in Distress,And a man with a Grothesque Beard a Frock Coat and a Top Hat as the Evil Landlord.There were variations on the theme sometimes The
Landlord was trying to grab there Farm and there was usually a
sick Mother who was on her last legs . It was a Typical Victorian Melodrama Adapted For The Silent Movie Era. Look
up the web Sites of the old silent Movies for youre Answer.

A title is apersonal thing and the best I think are idiosynchratic and see some type of metaphor in the play rather than a direct hit.
I play around in my head okay here is idea
"Tie Me To the Tracks"
That's it.
