News Story

If you can set your mind back to last autumn, many of you were gripped by our thrilling production of The Girl on the Train, directed by Loveday Ingram. We are delighted to say that this production has now been picked up by by Simon Friend Entertainment and Josh Andrews Productions for a UK tour starring Giovanna Fletcher as Rachel Watson.

Commenting on her role, Fletcher said “I am delighted to be leading the company of The Girl on the Train as Rachel Watson at venues across the UK next year. Paula Hawkin’s psychological thriller has gripped millions of readers worldwide with its Hitchcockian tale of suspense and mystery. What better place than the theatre to take us through its voyeuristic window and deep into Rachel’s story?”

As one of 40 producing theatres left in the UK, we are in an ever-challenging arts environment, so the support of our audiences is a crucial contribution to our ability to continue creating and producing high-quality, nationally recognised theatre. Your enthusiasm and dedication allow us to thrive and bring outstanding productions like The Girl on the Train to your doorstep.

Our in-house Producer Alice Bezant, who worked on the production, said "After its success in Salisbury, I am delighted that our Autumn 2023 production of The Girl on the Train is going on national tour. Wagstaff and Abel’s adaptation, directed by Loveday Ingram, kept audiences on the edge of their seats night after night, and I can’t wait to see it thrill theatregoers across the country."

We wish the production and everyone involved in the tour the very best on this exciting venture!
