What the Press have to Say
"Here's a theatrical event with real cross-generational appeal: it's witty without being arch, charming but not twee, and it tempers its nostalgia with surprisingly steely political conviction."
TimeOut London
"Damian Cruden's production has great freshness and ingenuity, using blasts of steam and thunderous sound effects to suggest the passage of steam trains, while the landslide in which the children wave the girls' red petticoats to avert disaster is presented with great theatrical panache."
