The Railway Children

About

This summer join The Watercress Line for the outdoor theatre production 'The Railway Children' performed by The Yvonne Arnaud Youth Theatre.

Set up your picnic at the Ropley picnic area and enjoy the show with views of the railway below. Take in the sights, sounds and smells of the railway in this truly immersive theatrical experience for visitors of all ages.

Roberta, Peter, and Phyllis have their lives turned upside down when their father mysteriously has to go away with two strangers in the night. They have to move from their comfortable London home to go and live in a simple country cottage, where Mother writes books to make ends meet. They soon come to love the railway that runs near their cottage, and they make a habit of waving to the Old Gentleman who rides on it. The railway becomes the centre of their new life, but little do they know what wonders and changes it will bring to them - maybe even the answer to Father's disappearance…

A brand new musical adaptation of E Nesbit's classic tale of adventure, discovery and friendship.

There will be 2 performances a day on 18th - 19th August at 12:15 and 2:15, performances will be 1 hour approx.
