The Railway Children Come to Roundhouse Park! – Part 2
.
Continuing our coverage of the coming of the stage production of the Railway hildren to Roudnhouse Park, we turn to the Wikipedia entry for the Railway Children which reports as follows on the most recent stage productions:
.
“A new stage adaptation written by Mike Kenny and directed by Damian Cruden was staged in 2008 and 2009 at the National Railway Museum, York. The adaptation starred Sarah Quintrell, Colin Tarrant and Marshall Lancaster (2008 only), and featured a Stirling Single steam locomotive (GNR 4-2-2 No.1) which, while not actually in steam, entered the stage on the tracks originally leading into the York Goods Station, in which the ‘Station Hall’ section of the museum is now situated. The stage was constructed inside the large tent outside the Goods Station, which is usually reserved for some of the working locomotives of the museum. … This adaptation is currently being performed at the disused Waterloo International railway station. A Toronto production will be mounted at a former railway maintenance shop in 2011.”
