Full company announced for Laura Whitmore dates of THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN

Irish presenter, writer and broadcaster Laura Whitmore is set to star as Rachel Watson at certain dates in the UK tour of the smash-hit Wiltshire Creative production of The Girl on the Train.

Whitmore’s performances in the gripping thriller, based on the internationally acclaimed number one best-selling novel, begin at Brighton’s Theatre Royal on 3 June and will run through to her returning to Dublin and the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre at the end of August.

Completing the cast are Daniel Burke as Kamal Abdic, Zena Carswell as Anna, Samuel Collings as Scott Hipwell, Freya Parks as Megan Hipwell, Paul McEwan as DI Gaskill and Edward Harrison as Tom Watson.

On joining the tour, Laura said: “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.”

Produced by Melting Pot and Josh Andrews Productions, the Wiltshire Creative production of The Girl on the Train is written by Paula Hawkins, adapted by Rachel Wagstaff and Duncan Abel, and is directed by Loveday Ingram.
