Poulton Drama presents The Girl on the Train, the gripping stage adaptation based on the bestselling novel by Paula Hawkins and the DreamWorks film, adapted for the stage by Rachel Wagstaff and Duncan Abel.

Rachel Watson takes the same train journey every day, watching the houses and people that pass by from her window. When a woman she has been observing suddenly disappears, Rachel becomes drawn into the investigation. But with fragmented memories and uncertainty surrounding what she has seen, uncovering the truth becomes increasingly dangerous.

Packed with suspense, mystery and unexpected twists, The Girl on the Train is a tense psychological thriller that will keep audiences guessing until the end.

Wyre Council has confirmed that Thornton Little Theatre is set to enter an exciting new chapter, with a new leaseholder bringing fresh energy, creativity and ambition to the much‑loved venue.

Speaking ahead of the theatre’s anticipated return to use later this summer, Ged Mills said:

“This theatre has huge potential. I’m keen to start working with local performers, promoters and community organisations right away to shape an exciting and inclusive future programme.”

Wyre Council is currently finalising the legal arrangements, with activity planning already underway behind the scenes.
