Railway Children

The best thing we did over Christmas was go to the temporary theatre in the old Eurostar Terminal of Waterloo Station (via Noodle Oodle on Queensway for lunch, of course). We went to watch the play of the Edith Nesbit classic, The Railway Children.

The show was in its last week, and sold out. Two train platforms formed the stage, and the actors were so close to the audience that we could almost touch them. It was fantastic, really entertaining. During the performance, a vintage 60-tonne steam train drove along the tracks, much to the delight of the audience - and all of us!
