The Permanent Way
by David Hare
Ludlow’s Here To There Productions are back with this gripping drama highlighting the chaos & tragedy that followed the privatisation of the railways.
Written by the multi-award winning playwright & director, David Hare, this compelling piece of theatre is told through the first-hand accounts of those most intimately affected.
Having lost none of it’s potency over the last 19 years, current rail strikes and the controversial privatisation of other key public services sees the issues raised within this play as being more relevant than ever.
However, just as One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest is not actually about asylums, The Permanent Way uses the institution of the railways as a lens through which to explore universal themes of timeless resonance.
How much individual & collective suffering must we endure before our shared humanity motivates us to take action?
“a compelling, fast-moving and astringently witty collage of first-hand testimonies and conflicting points of view….The picture that emerges with great force from these vivid, eloquently juxtaposed vignettes is of a debased culture that sets less store by the expertise that comes from intimate knowledge of a subject than by vacuous so-called management skills.” Independent

Two hours without an interval and never have I felt so emotionally engaged with the actors that you don't notice the time. Phenomenal play, perfect setting (a small intimate theatre), and powerful performances.
When the play starts you're not sure quite where it's going, but once you start hearing the stories of of those whose lives were changed by the events covered by the play, you realise just how good this is.
