A superb adaptation for the musical stage of E. Nesbit's quintessentially English classic. An idyllic Edwardian family Christmas is interrupted by a knock at the door and a family's life is changed forever. Father is wrongfully arrested and Mother and the three children Roberta (Bobbie) Peter and Phyllis are forced to move to the country. Discovering a railway near their new house is just the beginning of a series of adventures set over one long summer. Julian Woolford&rsquos and Richard John&rsquos musical brings a masterful emotional depth to this rite of passage story developing from youthful passion for adventure to an adult sense of responsibility whilst featuring heartfelt ballads stirring choral numbers and tuneful melodies
