Rev Awdry: The Thomas the Tank Engine Man

Searchlight Theatre Company • Professional company

55 minutes•Gorgie and Palmerston Place Church on Palmerston Place
A wonderfully nostalgic tale of the clerical railway enthusiast who brought us Thomas and his friends. The Reverend Awdry created stories for his son who was sick in bed, the result was some of the most endearing children's books and characters of all time. 'Deceptively sophisticated, interdisciplinary storytelling that entertains, informs and, like a fully functioning railway network, moves' **** (Scotsman). A must see. Includes some wonderful songs, plenty of laughs and a game of cricket. All aboard for some fun for all the family. And leaves on time. First class.
