Paperback Presents The Railway Children
Advertisement
No Wifi. No Xbox. And water from a well?! This definitely isn’t normal.
Bobbie (that’s me), Peter & Phyllis (ow! Stop pinching me), I mean Phil, have been swept off to the English countryside by our Mom, who is suddenly far too busy to play with us.
Left to explore our new home, (if you can call it that), it’s not long before the railway calls from the bottom of the garden. As we follow the tracks to the local station, we discover a whole new world with some slightly strange characters, romance (stop retching, Peter), peril and questions that definitely need answering...
What to get Mr Perks for his birthday when we can’t even afford sweets?
Why is the 08.11 always late?
Who is stealing from the abandoned coal yard at nighttime?
And where has Dad gone anyway?
Come join us as we tell our story, our way.
Fresh from their 2025 tour of The Wind in the Willows and The Wizard of Oz, Paperback Theatre returns to tour the UK with Charis McRoberts' brand new adaptation of E. Nesbit’s classic The Railway Children.
Doors: 17.30
Show: 18.30
Duration: 80 minutes without an interval.
Customers are encouraged to bring your own picnic blankets and camping chairs to sit on, as seating will not be provided. The café will be open prior to the performance to purchase food and drink.
