Rachel Watson longs for a different life. Her only escape is the perfect couple she watches through the train window every day, happy and in love. Or so it appears. When Rachel learns that the woman she’s been secretly watching has suddenly disappeared, she finds herself as a witness and even a suspect in a thrilling mystery in which she will face bigger revelations than she could ever have anticipated.
“Paula Hawkins’ international best-seller [sold] 20 million copies worldwide… Onstage, The Girl on the Train carries that same heart-thumping humanity with all the juddering twists and intermittent periods of darkness – adapted for wider appeal by Rachel Wagstaff and Duncan Abel… Don’t miss the hurtling ride of The Girl on the Train.” – London Theatre Direct“
“The stage adaptation is a nicely-balanced vodka martini: sharp, invigorating and definitely not sugary-sweet… [A] fast-moving, beautifully-structured narrative… As the drama speeds along to denouement, layer upon layer upon layer of intrigue and tension by turn obscure and reveal foreboding harbingers of a calamitous climax.” – The Bath Magazine
“Suspenseful… a harsher, suburban, sex-filled variation on The Mousetrap.” – The Arts Desk
Contains strong language & depicts scenes of domestic & sexual violence & alcoholism. Suitable for mature audiences 16yrs plus.

Happy Students
Chris has created something truly special with the Mockingbird classes – an incredibly supportive community free of judgement, where people are encouraged to take risks, be themselves and have fun! I’ve learnt so much more than I ever expected – about acting and about myself – under Chris’ guidance. The classes are truly the highlight of my week! I can’t overestimate how much joy and value Mockingbird brings to us all!
