The Girl on the Train
Newcastle People's Theatre
Tuesday 14 – Saturday 18 July 2026
A missing woman. A tangled web of secrets. One unforgettable journey. The People's Theatre brings Paula Hawkins' global bestseller The Girl on the Train to its Heaton stage this July, in a sharp psychological thriller that promises to keep audiences guessing right to the final moment.
Rachel (Kate Plass) longs for a different life. Escaping her own unhappiness, she becomes captivated by the perfect couple she glimpses each day from her train window — happy, successful, deeply in love. Or so it seems. When the woman suddenly vanishes, Rachel is drawn into a gripping mystery that starts to blur the line between truth and imagination, and as suspicion mounts and hidden lives are exposed, she finds herself at the centre of a shocking investigation.
Adapted for the stage by Rachel Wagstaff and Duncan Abel from Hawkins' novel and the DreamWorks film, the production is packed with suspense, intrigue and unexpected twists, as obsession, deception and desire collide. Step aboard — but be warned, nothing is as it seems.
The production is directed by Sam Sanford, with Kate Plass leading the cast as Rachel Watson, alongside Sam Hinton as Tom Watson, Ellie Adamson as Anna Watson, Tom Kelly as Scott Hipwell, Mark Buckley as DI Gaskill, Callum Mawston as Kamal Abdic and Lauren Urmson as Megan Hipwell.
The Girl on the Train runs at the People's Theatre, Stephenson Road, Newcastle upon Tyne NE6 5QF, from Tuesday 14th to Saturday 18th July 2026, with performances at 7.30pm. Tickets are £16.50/£14.
Tickets: available from the People's Theatre Box Office on 0191 265 5020 (option 2) or online at www.peoplestheatre.co.uk
This amateur production of The Girl on the Train, based on the bestselling novel by Paula Hawkins and the DreamWorks film, is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd.
