In 1874, not two hundred yards from Roxley Hall, one of the worst railway disasters this country has known occurred.
Thorpe St. Andrew will be commemorating the 150th anniversary of this tragedy with a series of events in September and for our part, we have been working towards a production which explores the stories of some of those involved, the impact of decisions made, the absurdity of the legal arrangements and the outcomes resulting from that fateful day. It has been a fascinating and rewarding experience to discover what happened, and how, even though many lives were lost, many more lives have been saved as a result. Our script has evolved and been refined, our production has been designed and our rehearsals planned. This story has given us a unique opportunity to bring to life part of our local heritage and to pay tribute to both victims and survivors, descendants of whom are still alive in our communities today We would love to welcome you to share with us a part of Thorpe history on 10th, 11th, and 12th October here at the Roxley Hall. Tickets available from Sunday 28th July. |
