THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN returns to London this summer in a newly revised production starring Katie Ray (The Mousetrap, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, The Sound of Music) as Rachel Watson.
Based on the bestselling novel by Paula Hawkins and blockbuster DreamWorks film, this new stage adaption by Rachel Wagstaff and Duncan Abel tells the story of Rachel Watson, who longs for a different life, her only escape is the perfect couple she watches through the train window everyday, happy and in love, or so it appears. When Rachel learns that the woman she’s been secretly watching has suddenly disappeared, she finds herself as a witness and even a suspect in a thrilling mystery in which she will face bigger revelations than she could ever have anticipated.
Directed by Joseph Hodges, with set design by Richard Cooper, lighting design by Seb Blaber, casting by Jay Gardner and produced by Gardner Hodges Entertainment.

Blood Gold and Oil
by Jan Woolf
From the Arab revolt of the First World War, a modern hero is constructed: the complex, flawed figure of Lawrence of Arabia. His legacy is as conflicted as his psyche. Brilliant military commander? Agent of British Imperialism? Vulnerable fantasist? Freedom Fighter?
Set in the present day, as an exhibition of the genuine archaeological finds is set up in a museum, the ghost of Lawrence is summoned through the passions of the archaeologist. Yet reality and agency reside in the more grounded figure who thinks about the future rather than the past.
In Blood Gold and Oil ghost and love stories combine, as Lawrence seeks a release from guilt and fame.
Written for the 20th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, Jan Woolf fuses activism with creativity. She started the play while writer in residence with The Great Arab Revolt archaeological dig in Jordan in 2013 where she ‘dug a play out of the desert.’
Performances: 25-29 April at 19:30, 30 April at 16:00

Night Light is a 1-hour, 3-act, fast-paced, conversational comedy. 3 children in their mid-20s put off growing up until they’re forced to let go of each other’s hands and pass on the night light.
Our Irish duo Robyn and Rian take on the harsh realities of living in central London, Randy attempts to write his way out of his situation, and Laura tries to teach them all there is more to life than nerf gun fights, in-jokes and a mattress that wasn’t built for three.
Directed by Tom Chandler (Juliet & Romeo).

The Lady With A Dog
The Chekhov story that the writer Vladimir Nabokov called ‘one of the greatest stories ever written’ returns to the UK stage in a full-length bittersweet romantic comedy transported to Jazz Age Britain.
Damian Granville is a banker and devoted family man with an unconventional way of taking his summer holidays: he travels alone and looks for a woman to seduce. This particular year he spots a beautiful young lady walking a white Pomeranian dog. How can he resist? He’s a skillful player and sure of success. Except Anne Dennis isn’t quite what he bargains for.
★★★★★ “Mark Giesser… recognises the responsibilities of taking on Chekhov demands and, with a dancer’s grace, solves them perfectly.” – Broadway World.
Previous shows by Alces Productions at Upstairs at the Gatehouse: Sirens of the Silver Screen; Strike Up the Band; Once Upon a Mattress; Call Me Madam; Luck Be a Lady; How To Build a Better Tulip.

Just Barking
by Joe Wiltshire Smith
Performed in rep with That Day on the 18th & 20th October
Stumbling back into her flat drunk at 10:30am, Tammy, a trainee nurse, decides to confess EVERYTHING to camera. To confront some demons, co-workers, postmen… this could take a while… You think you know her, but maybe you don’t know half of it.
Tammy’s life is a frantic mess of drink, insomnia and patient drama, with the usual hangover worse than death the next day – ’til one night, coming home from work, she get’s some self-help advice from the most unlikely of gurus… in fact, he’s a Chihuahua.
A richly black comedy, this one-woman, drastic reimagining of Gogol’s ‘Diary of a Madman’ investigates the strain on healthcare, the toxic cycle of hustle culture, the deafening toll on mental health and the rediscovery of the self.
Running Time: TBC (One act with no interval)
