The smash-hit Wiltshire Creative Production of The Girl on the Train will visit Mayflower Theatre from Tuesday 22 to Saturday 26 July 2025.
Rachel Watson longs for a different life. Her only escape is the perfect couple she watches through the train window every day, happy and in love.
Or so it appears.
When Rachel learns that the woman she’s been secretly watching has suddenly disappeared, she finds herself as a witness and even a suspect in a thrilling mystery in which she will face bigger revelations than she could ever have anticipated.
Irish presenter, writer, broadcaster and former Love Island host, Laura Whitmore, is set to star as Rachel Watson in the gripping thriller, based on the internationally acclaimed number one best-selling novel by Paula Hawkins.
The international phenomenon – which has sold over 20 million copies worldwide and inspired the Dreamworks film starring Emily Blunt – enjoyed a box-office record-breaking theatrical tour in 2019.
On joining the tour, Laura says: “I read the book when it first came out and I was obsessed by it. I love it when you find a book and all you can think about is that story. You wake up a little bit earlier to read the book and stay up too late to finish it. I am excited to show people my portrayal of Rachel next summer.”
Laura is a successful radio and television broadcaster best known for hosting MTV and the Bafta-winning Love Island, the I’m A Celebrity spin-off show, Celeb Juice and her own breakfast show on ITV
