My Daddy, My Daddy...

We recently went to see The Railway Children being performed live at Waterloo Station on the tracks where EuroStar used to terminate. It was a great performance with the audience split into two and facing each other across the tracks seated on the two platforms. The actors used part of the platform and an ingenious moving stage on the tracks allowing them to have a very flexible performance area and allowing a real steam train to enter (to rapturous applause) as required.

The actors were very convincing and there was not a dry eye in the house when that famous line was uttered.
