Railway Children, The

Synopsis:
THE RAILWAY CHILDREN tells the spell-binding story of Roberta, Peter and Phyllis who, when their father is wrongly imprisoned, have to move out of their comfortable London house and live in impoverished circumstances in a cottage in Yorkshire. Their new home is very close to a railway line and they come to fall in love with the railway, and befriend the amiable station porter Perks and his wife. The story follows them and their mother through a series of great adventures including saving the train from a landslide before arriving at its famously tear-jerking ending.

Uncle Vanya

Synopsis:
Following the intertwined lives of a family living in provincial Russia, Chekhov's legendary play brilliantly illuminates the realities that must be faced when one is forced to look honestly at one's own life. Written in 1897, it asks questions of human nature that are both timeless and universal. Written with humour and sadness, Uncle Vanya is unmissable theatre.
