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.
Based on the acclaimed number one best-selling novel by Paula Hawkins, The Girl on the Train was also adapted into a film starring Emily Blunt and first staged in 2018.
Paula Hawkins’s book was adapted for the stage by Rachel Wagstaff and Duncan Abel. They said of the new tour: “Since opening in the UK in 2018, The Girl on the Train has been performed around the world, so we’re thrilled that it’s coming back for this UK-wide tour.”
Directed by Loveday Ingram, further creative team members are to be revealed.
