The Train Driver

Tour synopsis, cast & creatives

In December 2000, Puma Lowland pulled her three children close to her body and stepped in front of a train on the railway tracks between Philippi and Niangua on The Cape Flats, South Africa. This true story demanded Athol Foulard's attention and compelled him to write The Train Driver; a beautiful and haunting play of redemptive power. He has described it as 'perhaps the most important play I've written... it's the emotional journey I've travelled in dealing with my inherited legacy of South African prejudice and what you do with that blinkered vision of reality.'

Approximate runtime 1 hour 15 minutes.

Age Advisory: 13+includes references to loss, baby loss, racial violence, trauma, discriminatory language and smoke on stage
