Production details

To coincide with the 40th anniversary of the Academy Award nominated film, Mike Kenny’s new adaptation of E. Nesbit’s novel The Railway Children will be performed at a unique venue at Waterloo Station in the former Eurostar terminal. The auditorium, created especially for this production, will be built with the audience seated either side of the original railway track, with the action taking place both on the track and on the platforms either side. The production, which uses the old Gentleman’s saloon carriage from the original classic film, will also feature a period steam train from the National Railway Museum in York. Supported by Arts Council England. Website This event takes place at Waterloo Station Theatre, Waterloo Station SE1 Box Office: 0871 297 0740
