Review – The Railway Children, Waterloo Station

Pah! Punchdrunk? Who they? For some truly exciting immersive, site-specific theatre you don’t need to pack a Thermos, don sensible shoes and set out on a Pilgrimage to the outer reaches of Beckton. You can just drop in to the old Eurostar terminal at Waterloo Station (zone 1).

This acclaimed production of E Nesbit’s The Railway Children in association with The National Railway Museum and York Theatre Royal has pulled up at the old Eurostar Terminus complete with its USP of “a real steam train”. And how clever that in the true spirit of Britain’s railway system only 2 out of the 4 washbasins in the gents should be working.
