When Father is taken away by two strangers on suspicion of espionage, the lives of Roberta, Peter and Phyllis are shattered. Suddenly impoverished, their mother is forced to take them from their comfortable London home to live in Yorkshire in a modest cottage. Whilst there, they learn about the railway from their new friend Perks, and soon fall in love with it. New friendships, new adventures and dangers await the ‘Railway Children’.
But what has happened to father? Where is he, and will he ever come back?
Tavonians Theatre Company return to the Wharf, and will tour local villages in November with Mike Kenny’s wonderful adaptation of E Nesbit’s classic tale. A genuinely charming classic, the show promises to be family entertainment at it’s very best.
“I am so looking forward to staging this exciting adaptation of The Railway Children because the story appeals to such wide audience” said Dianne ffitch, the Director of the play. “We all grew up with the book and the 1970s film version starring Jenny Agutter and Dinah Sheridan. Who can forget the heartfelt words ‘Daddy, my Daddy’. Even though we know it’s coming, it still brings a joyful tear to the eye”.
