'The Railway Children' in Kandy and Jaffna
“A train is coming. It’s like a great dragon tearing by.”
E. Nesbit’s cherished novel is brought to life in this Olivier award-winning adaptation from York Theatre Royal. This production about a family forced to move from London to rural Yorkshire near a railway line was captured live by Genesius Pictures at the National Railway Museum.
Directed by Damian Cruden, Artistic Director of York Theatre Royal, The Railway Children features the original locomotive from the much-loved 1970’s film and explores themes of justice, the importance of family and the kindness of strangers.
