"Try to imagine it as an adventure, all sorts of things might happen."
A beloved children’s classic pulls in to the Altrincham Garrick Playhouse for the Easter holidays!
When their father leaves suddenly under mysterious circumstances, Bobbie, Peter, Phyllis and their mother must move to a small cottage in rural Yorkshire where life is very different.
The children meet new friends, save the day and divert disasters, and along the way discover a world full of imagination, love and resilience.
All aboard for Mike Kenny’s delightful adaptation of E. Nesbit's much-loved story of family, adventure and trains.
Capturing all of the angsts and exhilarations of childhood, it promises to be a heart-warming treat for all ages!
Mike Kenny's version of The Railway Children was first staged at the National Railway Museum in York in 2008, before receiving a major production at Waterloo Station in London in 2010.
We are a diverse theatre and we welcome auditionees of all ages (above the age of 18) and all genders, ethnicities, sexualities, disabilities and races, to enrich the work of the production.
