The gripping stage adaption of The Girl on the Train, starring former EastEnders actress Samantha Womack makes its next uk tour stop at London’s Duke of York’s Theatre. It is based on the New York Times Fiction Bestselling book of the same name by British author Paula Hawkins. Rachel Watson is an alcoholic divorcee who, as the title suggests, spends her days riding trains, where she witnesses events that involve her in a missing person investigation. While a 2016 film adaptation took the setting overseas to the suburbs of NYC, the stage adaptation brings it back to the UK.
