Last Train to Elvet
T0223463140
Shortly before closing in 1953, Durham's Elvet Station handled a circus train full of performers and animals, Last Train to Elvet combines brass music with circus themes, a web of words and live cartooning.
Music, words and live cartooning tell the amazing (partly) true story of the circus train that was the last train to Durham Elvet station in 1953, packed with animals and clowns and acrobats. Capriciously, the train breaks down... Now what will the Circus do? Come along and find out! said poet and Last Train to Elvet co-creator Ian McMillan.
