Railway Children

railwaych2.JPGThe story of a wealthy town family losing the father figure and moving to the country where the railway plays a key part in the children’s lives, and ultimately brings their father home is as popular today as when it was written.

The film is re-run every Christmas and it is wonderful to perform as a play.

The Bexhill production used a projected background for the railway and the family cottage which worked really well.

There is something about stage productions involving alot of children that brings an extra magic.

The production kept the typically olde English feel and was played to a packed house.
