Poor Shirley Must Make Her Escape

Tue 30 Jun

About Poor Shirley Must Make Her Escape

On a train from Ljubljana to Budapest, two strangers collide - one running from her past, the other searching for a future. What unfolds is a transformative confrontation between dreams, regrets, and the courage to face what’s next. 

Tom George Hammond’s extraordinary new tragi-comedy received rave reviews when it premiered in London last year. With creative support from award winning director Sean Turner, the original cast are reunited for an all new production.
