The Railway Children

Event Flyer

E. Nesbit’s much-loved classic, The Railway Children, has delighted generations since its first publication in 1906 and Mike Kenny’s wonderfully faithful and imaginative adaptation takes audiences young and old alike on an enchanting journey of imagination and reality.When Bobbie, Peter and Phyllis move to rural Yorkshire with their mother following the imprisonment of their father, they are forced to face the anxieties and exhilarations of growing up in order to learn what really matters. A story of Edwardian England on the brink of change - a world that is insecure and hard, but one filled with love, resilience and humanity - and always running through it is the railway, in particular the 9.15 to London…Directed by Charlotte Loeppky and Harold Squire, The Railway Children runs for 9 shows April 21-30 at the historic Lantern Church in Calgary's Inglewood district.Matinees at 2pm, evening shows at 7pm.

How did you like the event?

   The production , cast and crew were amazing. My only feedback would be that certain characters were difficult to hear as they were speaking towards the middle of the stage rather than projecting out towards the crowd. But otherwise, fantastic.

How did you like the event?

     The performances ,the actors, and story was excellent. Only two things, for me were bothersome, one was the acoustics were difficult for the, and the smoke effects were a little too much. I would recommend this play for an evening entertainment.

How did you like the event?

   The show was lovely albeit a bit slow. Some of the actors were rough to understand with the combination of the accents and the acoustics of the space. We loved the wound design and the performers, especially Bobbie!
