The Girl on the Train
by Rachel Wagstaff, Duncan Abel, Paula Hawkins

"Paula Hawkins’ international best-seller [sold] 20 million copies worldwide... Onstage, The Girl on the Train carries that same heart-thumping humanity with all the juddering twists and intermittent periods of darkness – adapted for wider appeal by Rachel Wagstaff and Duncan Abel… Don’t miss the hurtling ride of The Girl on the Train."

— London Theatre Direct

"The stage adaptation is a nicely-balanced vodka martini: sharp, invigorating and definitely not sugary-sweet… [A] fast-moving, beautifully-structured narrative… As the drama speeds along to denouement, layer upon layer upon layer of intrigue and tension by turn obscure and reveal foreboding harbingers of a calamitous climax."

— The Bath Magazine

"Peppered with questions… when a neighbour mysteriously goes missing, Rachel’s memory, which is punctured by alcohol-stained blackouts and missing fragments, is all she has to work with. She tangles her way into the heart of the puzzle."

— Mary-Catherine Harvey, The Up Coming

"Adapted from the hit thriller novel by Paula Hawkins, which told three women’s narratives as they became embroiled in a missing person case… the play strips out the other two narratives and focusses only on Rachel, a hopeless middle-class boozer."

— London Theatre

"Suspenseful… a harsher, suburban, sex-filled variation on The Mousetrap."
