The Girl On The Train
Based on the book by
Paula Hawkins and adapted by
Rachel Wagstaff & Duncan Abel
directed by Andrew Knight
The play, based on the book by Paula Hawkins, is a gripping psychological thriller that delves into the complexities of human relationships and the impact of trauma. Its heroine, Rachel, is a miserable, alcoholic divorcee who gazes at a seemingly perfect couple in a house she passes every day when she commutes by train between London and suburbia.
Rachel Wagstaff and Duncan Abel adapted the book for the stage and the world premiere took place at the Courtyard Theatre (West Yorkshire playhouse) in May/June 2018 staring Jill Halfpenny as Rachel Watson. The film version was released in 2016 and was actually set in New York (as opposed to London as per the book).
