July premiere for new Settle Carlisle Railway play Lives Along the Line - tickets on sale now

A new play about the Settle Carlisle Railway will have its premiere next month as Lives Along the Line opens for two productions next month.

Tickets are on sale now for the shows which will be held at Appleby Public Hall on Saturday, 4 July and at Settle Victoria Hall on Sunday, 5 July. Both are matinee performances, so theatregoers will be able to travel to and from the performances by train.

The  Settle Carlisle Railway Development Company commissioned playwright Joan Barnard to write the production as part of the celebrations marking 150 years of passenger travel on their line.

As well as writing the new play, Joan is also directing the production, on which will be performed by Ravenstonedale-based community-focused theatre group, The Vagabonds.

The productions will also be recorded to make a film which will be shared with schools along the line, for use in their railway projects, which form part of the National Curriculum.

We are grateful for the support of Northern, Avanti West Coast, LNER and TransPennine Express, which has made this production possible.
