The Iron Road

This Easter, join the Theatre Royal's three 13-15 year old Youth Theatre groups as they embark on a journey of intriguing stories about the arriving, the thriving and the closing of the West Suffolk railways.

On the tracks of the old railways the distant smell of smoke and grease linger in the air. The stations, now silent and still, were once steam-filled chaos, with bustling feet and passengers with boxes and cases. A sudden whistle, the sleepers awake and this world comes back to life.
