The Railway Children

31 March 2023–15 April 2023

Leicester Drama Society

Main House

Synopsis

This superb musical adaptation of The Railway Children brings masterful emotional depth to the much loved quintessential English classic novel by E Nesbit.

Following an idyllic Edwardian family whose life is changed forever when the mother and her three children, Bobbie, Peter and Phyllis are forced to move to the countryside. It takes you on a journey through the adventures they face during the summer that follows alongside a railway that they discover near to their house. This rite of passage story, developing from youthful passion for adventure to an adult sense of responsibility, is suitable for all the family to enjoy.

The Little Theatre is proud to present this brand-new feature in its annual programme, an Easter Musical Drama. Directed by Leigh White, this production will be offered during the Easter calendar period, with 12 performances including additional matinées during the weekends.
