    Mike Kenny's imaginative stage adaptation of E. Nesbit's much-loved children's classic.
Famously filmed, this story of a prosperous Edwardian family - mother and three children - forced into near-penury in the rural north of England captures the anxieties and exhilarations of childhood with great tenderness and insight.
As Mike Kenny says of his remarkably faithful adaptation, 'You don't need a real train to perform this play' the most powerful prop is the imagination of the audience, the most effective tool the skill of the actors.' So this version of The Railway Children, which offers three plum roles for young performers, is eminently suitable for schools, youth theatres and drama groups - anywhere, in fact, where the cry of 'Daddy! My Daddy!' is likely to provoke a tear.
'Lavish, warm-hearted... one of the very finest children's stories of the 20th century, and it is served superbly by Mike Kenny's adaptation'- Whatsonstage.com
'This glorious adaptation... profoundly moving... it never for a moment runs out of steam'- Guardian
'Mike Kenny's script provides everything needed for a cracking evening at the theatre.'- Amateur Stage
'Mike Kenny's adaptation shows his mastery of playwriting for children and families... adults and children alike are enthralled by the clever mix of imagination and reality'- Financial Times

    A stunningly ambitious work from one of the UK's most influential playwrights.
Someone sneezes. Someone can't get a signal. Someone shares a secret. Someone won't answer the door. Someone put an elephant on the stairs. Someone's not ready to talk. Someone is her brother's mother. Someone hates irrational numbers. Someone told the police. Someone got a message from the traffic light. Someone's never felt like this before.
In this fast-moving kaleidoscope, more than a hundred characters try to make sense of what they know. Premiered at the Royal Court in September 2012.
'This exhilarating theatrical kaleidoscope... What is extraordinary about Churchill is her capacity as a dramatist to go on reinventing the wheel' The Guardian
'The wit, invention and structural integrity of Churchill's work are remarkable... She never does the same thing twice' The Telegraph
'A wonderful web of complex emotions, memories, secrets and facts' A Younger Theatre

But before Savannah can get answers, her husband goes into cardiac arrest. Now, as Sheldon fights for his life, Savannah struggles to put her bitterness aside. But as every female in his life becomes a suspect and Savannah finds herself questioning everything she's ever believed, a handsome doctor may be the only one that can help Savannah find the truth.
