The Girl On The Train follows Rachel as she longs for a different life. Watching a seemingly perfect couple through the train window, Rachel’s world is turned upside down when she learns of the woman’s disappearance and finds herself intertwined in the mystery.
Originally written by Paula Hawkins, the novel was adapted for the big screen back in 2016 and starred Emily Blunt and Luke Evans.
The stage production has already celebrated critical acclaim ahead of its limited West End run, with WhatsOnStage declaring it “a must”, and the Daily Echo calling it “a first class thriller filled with dramatic twists and turns”.
The Girl On The Train arrives at London’s Duke of York’s Theatre from 23 July until 17 August 2019, with tickets on sale now through Ticketmaster.co.uk.
