No Wifi. No Xbox. And water from a well?! This definitely isn’t Brum. Bobbie (that’s me), Peter & Phyllis (ow! Stop pinching me) - I mean Phil - have been swept off to the English countryside by our Mom, who is suddenly far too busy to play with us. Left to explore our new home, (if you can call it that), it’s not long before the railway calls from the bottom of the garden. As we follow the tracks to the local station, we discover a whole new world full of strange characters, romance (stop retching, Peter), peril and questions that definitely need answering! What to get Mr Perks for his birthday when we can’t even afford sweets? Why is the 08.11 always late? Who is stealing from the abandoned coal yard at night time? And where has Dad gone anyway? Come join us as we tell our story, our way. Fresh from their 2025 tour of The Wind in the Willows (“Fun, funny and utterly charming”) and The Wizard of Oz (“"Utterly entrancing. A great mix of charm and sophisticated wit”) Paperback Theatre returns to tour the UK with a brand new adaptation of E. Nesbit’s The Railway Children by Charis McRoberts. “Thoroughly entertaining! Brilliantly funny, wholesome and great twists on classics! Exactly what live theatre should be about!” - Feedback on previous shows.
