More Info
Based on the 2015 international best-selling novel, The Girl on the Train follows Rachel Watson, a recently divorced 33-year-old whose life has fallen apart. On her journeys to and from ‘work’ each day she becomes increasingly fixated on a couple she sees from the train window. When the wife suddenly disappears, Rachel involves herself in the investigation, but as she tries to find the truth of what happens, she starts to unearth secrets that neither she, nor anyone else, were prepared for.
The Girl on the Train manages to bring the suspense and tension of the novel onto the stage as a heart-racing mystery thriller, promising a whole new experience even to fans of the book or movie. Audiences themselves become voyeurs, spying into the lives being revealed onstage.
This mysterious thriller is directed by Holly Chappell, who directed 2021’s Frankenstein for The Court Theatre, with set design by Dan Williams (Once and Little Shop of Horrors).
