Synopsis
The jaw-dropping stage adaptation of E Nesbit's children's classic, The Railway Children, is coming back to London for a limited season in 2011. Staged in the old Eurostar terminal at Waterloo Station, The Railway Children benefits from one of the most atmospheric auditoriums in London. The audience are seated on either side of the track with the action taking place on both platforms and the tracks themselves. A genuine, working steam train even makes an appearance. The story of The Railway Children follows Bobby, Peter, and Phylis as they struggle to understand why their father was taken away so mysteriously. Their mother moves them to rural Yorkshire and there they befriend a local railway porter and embark on a remarkable journey of discovery.
