Dramatic play based on the book by Paula Hawkins

"The Girl on the Train" is based on the psychological thriller novel written by Paula Hawkins, published in 2015. The story revolves around Rachel Watson, an alcoholic woman who is devastated by her recent divorce from Tom. She takes the train every day, passing by her old house, where her husband now lives with his new wife, Anna, and their daughter. During her daily train journey, Rachel becomes obsessed with a seemingly perfect couple, Megan and Scott Hipwell, who live a few houses down from her old home. She creates an imaginary life for them and becomes emotionally attached to their relationship. One day, Rachel witnesses something shocking involving Megan and Scott, which leads her to become entangled in their lives. The play explores themes of deception, betrayal, and the consequences of our actions. It is a complex and gripping story with unreliable narrators and unexpected twists.

  • Ticket to the show
  • Spice Host

Extras

  • Refreshments

This small venue hosts many types of show, theatre, music, comedy. I've seen Edinburgh preview here and some of the best shows I have ever seen. The auditorium is not huge, and has bleacher seating so you'll always have a good view. They have their own bar which is generally open about 45 minutes before the show starts. We will meet at 7.15, have a drink and a chat then move to the main theatre for the show.
