The Girl on the Train Tickets
Fresh off the back of a UK tour, The Girl On The Train arrives in London for four weeks this summer. A “first-class thriller” (The Daily Echo) with a gripping central performance by Samantha Womack, catch this mind-bending adaptation of the bestselling book at the Duke of York’s Theatre from 22 July.
After travelling up and down the UK on tour, The Girl On The Train transfers to the West End for a strictly limited season. With a gripping central performance from Eastenders’ Samantha Womack, this psychologically teasing story runs for four weeks at the Duke of York’s Theatre from 22 July.
Based on Paula Hawkins’ best-selling novel, The Girl On The Train is a compellingly dark thriller. Its central character Rachel longs for a different, happier life, and seeks escapism by watching a young couple through the window of her train. However, innocent escapism takes a sinister turn when the wife she has been watching suddenly disappears. Caught at the centre of an investigation that casts her as both witness and suspect, Rachel – and audiences – are kept guessing until the final minutes.
The Girl On The Train has become something of a phenomenon, spurred on by the success of other female-led thrillers including Gone Girl. Following a 2016 film adaptation starring Emily Blunt and Luke Evans, the stage play premiered at Leeds Playhouse (formerly West Yorkshire Playhouse), starring Jill Halfpenny, in 2018. It has since enjoyed a national tour, picking up audiences everywhere from Bath to Coventry.
Samantha Womack stars as Rachel, having previously appeared on stage in South Pacific and The Addams Family. She is best known as a member of the infamous Mitchell family on Eastenders, earning plaudits for her portrayal of Ronnie Mitchell.
Womack will be joined by Alex Ferns (Chernobyl, Eastenders) as Detective Inspector Gaskill , Marc Elliott (Eastenders, Holby City) as Dr Kamal Abdic and Philip McGinley (Game of Thrones, Vera) as Scott Hipwell.
The Girl On The Train was adapted for the stage by Rachel Wagstaff and Duncan Abel, and directed by Anthony Banks. Banks is no stranger to national touring theatre, having previously helmed Strangers On A Train and Gaslight.
